Something interesting about gays.

The only "greasy grace" is a grace that provides a salvation that can slip right through your fingers.

True grace reckons our sins paid for. Because He who knew no sin... became sin... that we might become... the very righteousness of God. Armed with grace... Satan has no charge against us. Armed with performance and self righteousness... we don't stand a chance against the enemy. God now sees us as we shall be upon glorification, like Him.

So as long as he is "armed with grace" Bro so and so can go out and have all the gay sex he wants since his sins were already paid for? He can just go on in his deviant pervser lifestyle and just say" well...my sins are paid for already. I can't help how I was born". I guess as long as he asks forgiveness once ina while and acts liek he regrets it then he is fine right? After all..grace grace grace.

I hope I am misunderstanding your intentions. Otehrwise you are perverting grace and changing it from the beautiful thing it really is into a sickening mockery of God.

Grace covers our slip ups and falls. It doesn't grant us legal right to just indulge in our filthy lusts and carnal nature.

Yes... you are misunderstanding my position on grace.

You see, a truly born again believer struggling with any egregious sin will be deeply convicted by the new nature residing in their spirit as a result of regeneration. The guilt and the shame of continued sin would begin to push them to a breaking point. Once this breaking point is reached the individual will have to choose to either surrender to the prompting of the indweling Holy Spirit and repent of sin... or be cut off. We see this happen when their interest in the things of God dies. The light is gone. They have REFUSED to allow conviction to lead them to their knees. They stop wanting to pick up their Bible. They don't want to gather with believers. Their "religious profession" becomes something they view as a "phase" they went through. They become reprobate.

And only God knows how long His grace will strive with a believer who is struggling with sin. Outright rebellion can bring swift distruction... and sometimes even temporal judgment.
