You do understand that this "blanket" forgiveness is a one time thing, right? By that, I mean ANY who call on the Name of Christ can have their sins forgiven, and become children of the Living God.

Grace in no way excuses people who continue to live in sin/a sinful lifestyle after they have come to Christ. Any such person is NOT a Christian/nor are they saved in my opinion. Based on that, I can only believe you are not understanding the true meaning of the "saving grace of God."

The Apostle Paul engaged in the hunting down, beating, imprisoning, and murdering of Christians PRIOR to his conversion. And Jesus Himself appeared to Saul/Paul, calling him to "repent" and that is just what he did. He did NOT continue to live the sinfilled life he had prior, but spent his live in service to God preaching and teaching the Gospel of Christ. Establishing Churches across the regions among the Gentiles. Yet, he did struggle, as he himself testifies to in various places in his Epistles.

There are instances/times when a person has hardened their heart so hard through denying Christ and rejecting God that God turns them over to their own sinfilled life, and they will not be saved. First Chapter of Romans speaks of this, and there are other places in Scripture that do as well.

All "can be" saved, but all "won't be" saved. Those who deny Christ and God will not be saved, but that is of their own doing, and it is not Gods desire. God would have all men be saved.........yet, He knows that not all will be. So, in a way, you are correct, but it isn't based on the type of sin they committed, but their denial of Christ/God and refusal to repent.

The wages of sin is death, and the smallest sin will cause one to spend eternity in damnation just as the worst of sins......

Not everyone who says to Jesus "Lord, Lord" will enter the kingdom of heaven. Even the demons believe, and they shudder.

Sounds like you need a husband. Don't take that as an insult either, good women are hard to find in this evil time.

That reminds me of a funny quote from a friend of mine who reckons some think a bad husband is better than no husband. She said "A women needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle". Not saying I agree with that ....just thought it was funny.

Lol I don't agree with that saying, I agree with the God and his prophets and apostle's view of men and women.

But indeed that is a pretty funny saying, thank you for sharing it.

If everyone focussed on fixing themselves ( letting God fix them I mean) and not trying to fix other people, the world would be a better place.

He keeps straying away from the subject and snubbing anyone who disagrees with him. And I've repeatedly asked him to leave.

I've already reported him twice.

Oh it's just pretty common that the children of darkness hate the children of light. The darkness doesn't comprehend the light, therefore the darkness hate the light. The more you the tell the truth to a wicked world, the more the wicked world will seek to persecute you. But I mean I can't feign ignorance, I was forewarned.

And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

If someone is reported every time they stray from the subject the mods would be run off their feet.

Interestingly I was told on another forum that I should not assume I own a thread because I started it.
