[QUOTE="Chris V++, post: 74851161, member: 408061"] Thanks. Great questions. These questions are also debated among Christians. Most Christians believe we are supposed to strive not to sin. When we sin we should repent and confess. Some traditions prescribe penance. If a Christian is going around sinning willfully and thinking he is granted some sort of license to sin then there is some hypocrisy going on. It's hard to read the Bible and come away with the notion that we can get away with sin without consequences. God rebukes us and seeks to restore us to humility. The Creator and King of the universe is not someone to be trifled with. ' Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.. ' Jesus Himself said of the religious hypocrites of his day: “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known[URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/1097.htm'].[/URL]" There is also the reap what you sow principle similar to karma 'Do [not[/B] be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. ' But we are a work in process. There is a potter and clay metaphor. We are molded like clay. [/QUOTE]
