The one thing that also never ceases to amaze me, is that we believe once saved, always saved, but many seem to think, that means it is ok to commit mortal sins galore, cuz, after all, you are saved. What rubbish. I think they say it, cuz that is how they would do it. 👎

It seems to be part of the mentality that people are not going to behave unless forced to by an outside force. That they aren't responsible enough to live an upright and moral life without someone watching over them and setting the boundaries for them.
As someone posted recently, and I think it was bb, Catholicism doesn't trust people to live right on their own.
Damned PROTS!!!

As if the Roman church is any example of right living before God.
What hubris that they should set themselves up as some sort of overseer for other people's behavior when they are such a train reck themselves. Talk about the fox guarding the hen house.
