You're literally advocating bumper sticker Christianity. "I don't have to live as a Christian because Christ died for my sins! It's a free pass to live as I desire!"Osodecentx said:https://www.facebook.com/Life4U.org.uk/videos/alistair-begg-the-man-on-the-middle-cross/428044132114016/?locale=ms_MYWangchung said:If you consider refraining from sin to be "works" it's no wonder you think Christianity is all about what you say and nothing to do with how you actually live.Osodecentx said:Exactly right.Wangchung said:How can you show you're truly repentant if you're continuing to sin? It's like being late for work. Your boss confronts you and you apologize, say you hate being late, it won't happen again. But the next day you're late again. And the next, and the next and the next because you don't actually care about being late. Your ACTIONS tell the truth of what is in your heart, not your words. To continue the sin for which you've asked forgiveness for is to show you don't actually seek forgiveness but permission through trite "I'm sorry!" prayers.Osodecentx said:RightWangchung said:
It's really very simple. If you sin, know you're sinning and CONTINUE TO SIN then you have not repented and cannot be forgiven for your sinning. Without TRUE repentance you're only fooling yourself. God isn't fooled.
Abut are you saying that voting for a Democrat is a sin? If so, you are adding works to the Gospel.
Could you say that members of the National Socialist Party were still Christians despite their support of Hitler?
Depends on their heart, not their works
Our vibrations were getting nasty. But why? I was puzzled, frustrated... Had we deteriorated to the level of dumb beasts?
