I think we are going slightly of course, with the details of King Saul and King David. Redeemed1 is in the ballpark of what I'm trying to get at.
The example I gave was extreme, but I was trying to raise some deeper questions. As Christians, we all sin every day. Things like envy, ego-centric pride, lazyness, hate, 'white lies', selfishness, lust and others, make us fall short of the glory of God.
That being said, are we sitll in jeapordy of going to hell if we don't confess each and every sin we commit? Once we have initially repented of our sins and asked God's forgiveness, when we are first saved, do we ever have to ask for forgiveness again? If so, how often? Do we just ask God for some generalized forgivness for being a sinner? He already knows this. And what exactly is 'backsliding'? After how many sins is one considered backslidden? Five? Twenty? One hundred? Does it depend on the 'type' of sin? Is Jesus' blood only cleansing of past sins once we initialy ask for forgiveness, or does that initial act of repentance make the blood of Jesus cover us for all tme?
Don't get me wrong, I am not without my own beliefs on this. I merely want to test the very limits of this concept of legalism under the law.
