I asked you to use scripture. I certainly hope your own beliefs are based on scripture and not just on the word of Martin Luther who advocates to sin boldly. NO WHERE in the word of God does Jesus or any apostle teach that.
It's what the Apostle says in Romans, that where sin abounds, grace abounds all the more. The Apostle isn't advocating sin (and neither was Luther), the Apostle (and Luther) instead were talking about the immensity of grace. Of course one can only talk about the immensity of grace when talking about the seriousness of sin. If one denies the seriousness of sin, then one can no longer talk about grace in any meaningful way--after all the Gospel is for sinners, and if one refuses to confess their sins as a sinner, then they reject the Gospel which is for them. If you believe yourself not a sinner, then you reject the Gospel and the grace of God. That is faithlessness.
