so you say that child abuse and swiping a pack of gum are pretty much equal sins????? They both have the same penalty. Death. Read James 2 sometime.

Doesn't OSAS mean that you can do either without penalty because all sins have already been forgiven???

TC....ALL sins have been forgiven. They've been nailed to the cross.

However, it doesn't mean the Lord won't discipline us while we're here on earth.

As I noted to you earlier....there are varying consequences of our actions.

Nope.

Sin has consequences. It's just that loss of salvation is not one of them.

But Catholics do not understand that God will now allow a child of His to continue in sin. Nor do they understand desire for holiness and sinlessness that motivates the believer to live a holy life nor the revulsion that a born again child of God feels at the thought of sinning and offending the One who redeemed him as such a great price.

The unregenerate mind cannot wrap around that the regenerate one does not want to sin.

When they accuse believers of that it goes to show the unregenerate state of the person who thinks that others think like them. It's called *projection*.

A regenerate believer does not need the threat of hellfire to avoid sin nor external force imposed on him to keep him from sinning.

Doesn't BBTCC mean you can't tell until yer dead if you got SAVED or not?
