I presume you are talking about me Sparkman? Alot of what you have said is mis-quoted with no context. As for "sin doesn't matter" Jesus died for my sin. He loved me so much he wanted me free from it and I accept Him as my Lord and saviour so that in Him I am DAILY forgiven for being imperfect. Does this mean I go out dilberately sinning so that grace may abound? Not at all!! Why would I do that to my Saviour? Why would I want to lie or gossip, both are not loving other people. Why would I want to have sex outside of marraige? That is not loving myself or another, its based in selfish lust and love is not self seeking. Why would I steal and covert? These are also stemed in selfishness.The only difference is I eat from "the tree of life" daily seeking God the way it should be. I dont eat from the tree of GOOD and EVIL ... or should I say the knowledge of good and evil where daily people go round in circles of what they can or cant do...whats right and whats wrong...what they are allowed to do and what they are not allowed to do. The seek scripture and spend hours upon hours arguing about what God word says or means. There was not a tree of good and a tree of evil in the garden and they picked one. There was a tree of LIFE that is found in Christ where there is no condemnation and its a life of trusting 100% in Christ, His leading, His teaching and from that abundant life is found and lived. I will not part take of the round-a-bout of KNOWING GOOD from Evil ...that tree is not for me. I want life in Christ
Interesting concept on the trees.....and I do not know about any riff between you and sparky....but I have no problem with what you said here.......
