[Salvation]

So you can go out and murder someone and still go to heaven?

What a farce this is.

The farce is the accusation that people think that way.

Jesus paid our sin debt in full.

There is nothing left for us to do in regard to attaining salvation.

Yes, there is stuff to be done in being conformed to the likeness of Christ.

Learning to operate in the mind of Christ and becoming more like Him everyday is what demands our taking up our cross as we learn to say no to the flesh and walk in the Spirit, but that does NOT affect our salvation, which is sealed in heaven by the Holy Spirit.

And the accusation that Christians think they can do what they want shows an abysmal ignorance of the teaching of Scripture and how a born again, born from above Christian really thinks. The Holy Spirit living in someone would never think that way.

While sin does not cost the saved person their salvation, that does not by any means mean that they can or will get away with it. God disciplines those He loves and since we are legitimate children, we will be disciplined for the sin we commit, but we will not be disowned (lose our salvation)

I often wonder why some resort to that fallacy, the undistributed middle. Is God a murderer? No, and when His life comes into your human spirit, His character begins to show forth, which includes not murdering people. To quote a well know source, ‘Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.’

Of course we can...It would be good if we were remorseful tho...

Hey, you guys got the same rule...If you commit a mortal sin and confess and repent, you get to go to purgatory, don't you???

>>So you can go out and murder someone and still go to heaven?<<

Those types of questions and comments are very telling. It illustrates a total lack of understanding of the change within a person that occurs when indwelt by the Holy Spirit.

Ask David, a man that God describes as a man "after His own heart"

Scripture tells us that if we break one "commandment " we have broken them all

So a man that lies is an idolator, a murderer, a blasphemer , an adulterer.

When we use other men and their sins as our standard we rob God of His absolute Holiness... All sin is an abomination to God...

Moses

David

Saul (the apostle Paul)

John tells us that if anyone has hated his brother, he has a ready murdered him in his heart.

The farce is saying there's a sin that God can't or won't forgive.
