He is not imagining it. It happens as Jesus said it would and I know the names of those who have done this. Exactly this as you describe. It is called "falling away from the faith" and Hebrews speaks of those who have tasted the above and fall away." It happens.Why do you imagine that a Christian who knows the Lord, knows his love, has received his mercy, grace, gifts and every spiritual blessing in Christ would WANT to live a life of continual unrepentant sin?
Do you sin? Or are you sinless? Do you get out of be and say "now, what can I do to badly hurt/sin against and disappoint God today?" Is that how sinful deeds become reality in your life?Why do you think that someone who loves the Lord, is getting to know him - or has had the joy of walking with him for many years - will get out of bed one day and think "now, what can I do to badly hurt/sin against and disappoint God today?"
I know people who have planned to deliberately hurt someone they loved or claim to love. Why? Because they were angry or disappointed. Do you think no one who loves another ever hurts them or it is all a mistake? You ever heard of wife beating? You ever heard of child beating? Do you think those people do not love the one they hurt?Have you been in a relationship with someone, been very much in love with them, and then planned to deliberately hurt them?
You are supposed to love, respect and honor your brothers and sisters in the Lord and you yourself do not do this at all. You thought a post was written by me and so felt free to write an insulting response until you realized it was not me. Is this fulfilling the command to love, respect and honor especially those of the household of faith??? You do not live your own standard, my dear.I would guess you haven't. We don't behave like that towards the people we love, respect, honour etc - so why imagine that we will behave like that towards God?
