Just because church x, does not come right out and say it is OK to sin. Does not mean its not inferred in their doctrines, or sermons. It seems to me YOU are trying to dodge the issue of sin, had satan said to Eve this is sin, she would probably have given her action more thought. But instead he said "did God really say". Then proceeded to make God the liar, by telling Eve God just wanted to keep her dumb.
So you don't have to say go out and sin, to teach its ok, it just depends on how you say it.
1. I am absolutely NOT trying to dodge the issue of sin. As I wrote previously, "Note to all: I am NOT saying that certain sins are okay. Please no one misread or misinterpret my post."
Yet you have misinterpreted my posts as I feared. It bothers me deeply when people have preconceived notions about churches that teach "once saved, always saved" and think they are condoning sin. They are not! I will adamantly defend them until somebody somewhere finally realizes that "once saved, always saved" does not mean it is okay to sin.
And just to be clear: IT IS NOT OKAY TO SIN.
2. Of course Satan wouldn't call sin a sin. He wants to deceive us into thinking some things aren't sinful. He is deceiving some churches today into thinking certain lifestyles aren't sinful. But just because that church is ignorant of their sin doesn't mean they are TEACHING that "sin is okay."
Man, is it that difficult to get what I'm saying? Perhaps I need to work on my writing skills.
