So are you saying that you can lead a purposely sinful life and still get to heaven?
I don’t think so.
No one is advocating living a sinful life.
That is not supported in the NT.
However, what is also not supported in the NT is the Roman Catholic position on "mortal" v "venial" sins.....as demonstrated by the msgr's false teaching which is in contradiction of the very Ten Commandments Roman Catholics say you have to keep.
**And while holy living is sanctification in progress, lack thereof does NOT cause us to lose our salvation either.**
See my question above about lead a sinful life and still expecting heaven.
Someone who lives a purposely sinful life has not likely been born again and so no, they are not going to heaven, not because they lived a purposely sinful life, but because they weren’t born again.
The sin we commit after we are saved does NOT affect our inheritance in heaven.
It does not cost us our salvation because we are saved by grace having been forgiven, not by works having performed.
So are you saying that leading a purposely sinless life will get you into heaven?
Hold steadfastly to your pride at fealty to an ORG’s sacraments is living a purposefully sinful existence. PRIDE which trust in attaining by works of fealty is SINFUL before GOD.
I don’t think so.
Well sure you do...You ever see someone stuck in the snow or needing help of any sort and you didn't stop and offer to help??? You ever hear another Catholic gossiping and didn't tell them to pipe down??? You ever see a homeless person asking for money for a meal and you shied away from that person???
Jas 4:16 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
Jas 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
Know any fat Christians or Christians who smoke or swear??? Maybe you??? That's sinning willfully, whether you admit it or not...That list could get very long...
