You were doing fine until here.......If you hurt someone, get drunk or commit ANY sin, you just say "Sorry, Lord" and your sins are forgiven. No punishment incurred. Just say "sorry."

There isn't even an assumption that you won't repeat that sin. Easy.

If you curse, you just say "Sorry, Lord." And you are forgiven. No confession, no penance. Just: "Sorry, Lord."

Actually, ALL our sins are forgiven. repentance for them restores the fellowship with God, but even if we don't say *I'm sorry, that sin is covered anyway. It doesn't cost us our salvation.

Faith is Jesus is not an on again off again proposition; never being sure if you're in or out by the hour.

We are saved by grace and kept by grace, not saved by grace, kept by works.

All I see in Catholic's screeds about *easy believism* is jealousy.

There isn’t even an assumption that you won’t repeat that sin. Easy.

If you curse, you just say “Sorry, Lord.” And you are forgiven. No confession, no penance. Just: “Sorry, Lord.”


Romans 5:20-21

The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 6:1-4

What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2 By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.

If you loved Him you would know His word. I wish Catholics would turn away from detestable practices and seek Him alone.
