Any examples where a Bible character did a sin without any consequences?

[TommySoda]

We know that in the Bible that some sins carry a consequences even when the person repenteded (David) but are there any sins where the person was just straight up forgiven without temporal consequences that you can think of?

There's several instances
where PEOPLE , (not GOD) ,

say someone sinned and God did not say so....

and whether it was sin or not, they were not punished.

I know of some examples where people did something that normally was sinful but were blameless and it considered not a sin because of the reasoning or need behind the act.

Mat 12:1 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.
Mat 12:2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.
Mat 12:3 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;
Mat 12:4 How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?
Mat 12:5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?

The word makes it clear.. the price/ages of sin is death. See we tend to look at the NOW the MOMENT yet where God is and Satan.. there is no time. So.. sin in this world.. there is price

We confess it.. He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleans us from ALL ALL ALL unrighteousness

Do you mind giving some examples?

Nothing immediately comes to mind. Regardless, even if one's sin weren't met immediately with some sort of temporal, earthly punishment, it wouldn't be an indicator that their action doesn't merit eternal punishment.

It's not just a question of focusing on punishment. Sin damages us, period. Always. God may let consequences happen. He may protect us from them sometimes if that's better for us. But no matter what, sin damages us. If nothing else, it makes us tend more to agree with sin and makes us less like Christ. It can damage us in other ways too.

There is also this woman who was forgiven without repenting:

Luk 7:37 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
Luk 7:38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
Luk 7:39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.
Luk 7:40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
Luk 7:41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
Luk 7:42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
Luk 7:43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
Luk 7:44 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
Luk 7:45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
Luk 7:46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
Luk 7:47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
Luk 7:48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.

Sins are not judged, until judgment day.

Seems obvious today there's a lot more sinners with the temporal consequences of not being able to think clearly,
not being able to hear God nor to understand His Word because of their sins,
and not just temporal, but eternal consequences for their sin today,
because of unbelief.

If they repent, if they turn to Yahweh, they may yet be saved, Yahweh Willing.

Not all repent. IN FACT few do.

Try the father of all those who believe....the friend of God....the man God counted as righteous.... Yes I am speaking of Abraham...the one was afraid(no coward enters the city Revelation says) and the one who lied about his true relationship with his wife. No punishment bro....instead God says Abe is righteous because HE BELIEVED!!!

Finally..... yes...... yet Yahweh did not ever say nor even suggest that Abraham sinned in those things..... people have said so, but not with Yahweh's approval.


Oh, and also, being afraid at times does not make someone, even you or me or any man, a coward.....

Condemnation is not the same as God's judgment. You can't just mash all bad words together to mean the same thing. Sins are not judged until judgment day. That's why it is called judgment day. Hello? Do a topical study since you've not left your bed in weeks.
