Your comment " Nothing, nothing can separate us from God's love, not even our own mistakes," supposedly based upon Paul's statement "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord" completely overloooks the simple fact, "our own mistakes" is not in Paul's list of things that cannot separate us from God's list. If you mean "SIN" when you say "mistake" you should consider 2 Sam 6:7, wherein God "smote" Uzzah for his "error." Or consider Ecclesiastes 5:6 "Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; NEITHER SAY thou before the angel, that IT WAS AN ERROR; wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands." "If you sin, call it sin" is the message of scripture. And no one ever was condemned to hell for sinning, my friend. Look it up. Everyone who was ever consigned to eternal damnation was so consigned for "FAILURE TO REPENT." And REPENTANCE is what folks lack when they continue in sin. And it is NOT a "mistake," nor yet an "error." it is SIN when one flouts God's laws and ordinances, which say no unrighteousness will be found in his Christ. And we who proclaim to be Christians, are "IN CHRIST." Unless we be unrighteous. Or fail to repent. In the love of Christ by the grace of God Theo Book |
