>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.

They don’t get it.

They don’t understand the heart change that occurs in the born again believer cause they’ve never experienced it.

They think that believer think *Oh goodie, I am secure in my salvation. That means that I can go out and sin all I’d like with no consequences* because that’s what they’d think if they thought they were secure in their salvation and there wer no restrictions on their behavior.

What motivates them to not sin isn’t love for and gratitude to God but fear of hell.
