The Protestant idea that; I know it is against the laws of God and man, but I can do it anyway because I am saved, is destructive.

That’s not a Protestant idea; that’s a Romanist straw man.

That’s not a Protestant idea; that’s a Romanist straw man. It's certainly the idea of some Protestants, because Luther said virtually the same thing verbatim.

"I know it is against the laws of God and man, but I can do it anyway because I am saved" -- heard it from a FReeper, in fact.
"Pecca fortiter." - Martin Luther
I would not say, though, that Luther actually meant sinning so that grace would more abound--- an error St. Paul warned against. It's one of those short, intentionally provocative slogans which positively requires interpretation: like St. Augustine's "Love, and do what you will."

I heard those words from a Protestant daughter of a Protestant Minister. Not Roman.
