I said:
"Please define "iniquity".
It sounds as though your view is that sin will keep people out of heaven. So I'm curious. Thanks."
Yes, and the biblical view as well, as seen by the passages referenced. PS maybe you should purchase a dictionary.
Well, you didn't define or describe "iniquity", but from your response, it appears that your view is that sin will keep people out of heaven.
Are you aware of Heb 10? After referring to Christ's sacrifice on the cross as "once for all" 4 times, the author then writes "And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary."
So, iow, by a "once for all" sacrifice of our sins, there is no longer any necessity for another sacrifice.
That means when He died for ALL sins, sin cannot be the issue regarding entrance into heaven. Because Christ PAID for all sins. ALL sins. EVERY sin.
Your view reverts back to the OT where priests had to offer sins annually as a reminder:
1 The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.
2 Otherwise, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins.
3 But
those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins.
4 It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
If any sin can keep one out of heaven, then Christ couldn't have died for all of them.
But He did.
