>>Agreed. God always examines the hearts of men and shows mercy.

But the good thief shouldn’t be taken as the example of a general rule for those who want to be spiritual freeloaders, who do evil, and then cry, “Lord,Lord”.

For some Protestants, their idea Jesus is a talisman in the sky and a get out of jail free card. In effect, they replace the real Second Person of the Blessed Trinity with an idol of their own creation.

Eternal security is a lie for the spiritually lazy.
