Oddly and unexpectedly. I've embraced inner Christ/I Am, formerly a Christian. I truly tell you, there is no "sin". Sin as religion has portrayed it is the opposite of being loving. Our only command is to be loving.
Discussion
This is the liberal idea of Christianity.
- All acceptance and nurturing love.
- No repentence and sanctification.
- Lawlessness; a license to sin.
When God regenerates a sinner, drawing them into Christ, He grants them the desire and strength to turn away from sin, to call sin evil and good good, to persevere against his fallen nature, to remain in Christ and never fall away.
True Christians hate what God hates. They hate sin and they hate when people twist God's word to sanctify it.

âWoe to those who call evil good and good evil,
who put darkness for light and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!â it.
- Isaiah 5:20
âEveryone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. â
- 1 John 3:4
âPeople loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the lightâŚâ
- John 3:19â20
âAnd then will I declare to them, âI never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.â
- Matthew 7:23
âIf we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lieâŚâ
âWhoever says âI know himâ but does not keep his commandments is a liarâŚâ
âNo one who abides in him keeps on sinning⌠Whoever practices righteousness is righteousâŚâ
- 1 John 1:6, 2:3â6, 3:6â10
âMake every effort to supplement your faith with virtue⌠For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective⌠Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to confirm your calling and electionâŚâ
- 2 Peter 1:5â10

Who determines what âlovingâ?
If you are no longer a Christian, then you never were.

âThey went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.â
- 1 John 2:19
âMy sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Fatherâs hand.â
- John 10:27â29
âBeing confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.â
- Philippians 1:6
âAll that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this is the Fatherâs will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.â
- John 6:37â39
In this case, are you loving 100% of your life? If not, then you are sinning, correct?
Why are you formerly a Christian?
Honest and genuine questions đđ˝
For clarification, Iâm not supporting anything that Laser is saying. I just realized that you were responding to his earlier message.
Figured I would mention that for context.
This is a modern heresy unfortunately. Yet also the oldest trick in the book. âDid God _really_ say that?â
