[theway;148347]Pure silliness. Do you have clean hands? in other words, do you no longer sin? Do you have a pure heart, in other words are all your thoughts pure?
What does the p***age I quoted (2 Corinthians 5:21) say about those questions? Does it say that God made Jesus to become sin for sinners that those sinners that believe in Him can become the righteousness of God in Him? Yes in the righteousness of Jesus, a righteousness that isn't by works but by faith. Because of this I am totally clean before God.. That isn't self righteous but a righteousness dependent on God to supply.. But to say that His righteousness in not sufficient is to say that His righteousness is nothing more than sin.. I reject that, I reject your insistence that the word of God is silliness..

If not, them you are advocating for an unlimited, sin all you want, credit card where Christ pays for everything you have done, everything you are thinking about doing, and everything you will do in the future. This is what a famous Christian called "Cheap Grace" it is theology right out of hell. Luckily it is still only held by a very small minority of Christians.
I am advocating nothing I am telling you what God did for me and all believers in Jesus on the cross.. He became sin in our place as the Father laid all our sin on Him.. Is this cheep grace? Not at all because as Jesus took our sin He recreated us a new creation.. We were born the first time physically and born again Spiritually (John 3:6).. Because of that I, nor any other believer, have ever sinned as much as we want. We all sin much more than we want.. Paul said he did the evil that he would not do, and he didn't do the good that he would do (Romans7:19).. If you still think of sin as something you want to do but resist though your own will then you are NOT Born of God.. A child of God doesn't want to sin at all.

James... I get that you want the bad feelings for what you have done to go away without any effort on your part, but that will never happen, and all you will end up doing is repeating your failings because you never dealt with them the first time. This time however you will be in a worse place when it happens again.
So again you deny the scripture. God told us said that:
