You yourself have testified that one can willfully and knowingly commit (venial) sins and all is well with God. So, it appears that you are a hypocrite.
In recent years, I do not use the term “
venial sins” to refer to sins that do not lead to spiritual death because the term “
venial sins” is associated with the Catholic Church (of which I do not agree with).
As for a person willfully committing sins that do not lead unto spiritual death:
Well, I believe Christians should strive to obey God in everything they do, but I realize that we may not always be perfect in our growing sanctifying walk with the Lord. This is why we do not have to be perfect in order to be saved. For example: Yes, I do believe that a Christian can go over the speed limit and not be condemned by God because this is not a sin that is condemned in His Word, and it is not always a violation of a lack of love towards your neighbor. Now, can it be? Yes. Speeding in an area where kids are playing would obviously be a serious lack of love towards human life. If a believer were to speed around kids without a care, I would say they are not saved and they need to get their heart right with God. But if they are not putting anyone’s life in danger by going a few miles over the limit, I am not sure why God would condemn them for such a thing.
As for your not so loving words that say that I am a hypocrite:
Well, first, let me say: May the Lord bless you and may His good love shine upon you today and forever more. Second, it’s not hypocritical or a contradiction to say that a Christian can willfully commit sins that do not lead to death and yet at the same time they may realize that they need to also strive to overcome such sins. For even those in the OSAS camp and or the Non-OSAS sin and still be saved camp believe that while committing sins like lusting, lying, hating, etc. may not condemn them, they also will admit that they as believers should strive to overcome such sins. For do you believe that a Christian can sin and still be saved? Do you not encourage others to overcome certain sins?
