Simply say this one thing: you must make an active attempt reject sinfulness to receive full grace in Judgement.
For some reason there will almost always be a few pop up to rebuke you. They'll incorrectly quote scripture, call you names, invoke the thief on the cross and generally act like their so, SOOOOO holy. Under all of their rhetoric this is what they are saying..
You can do whatever you want and still go the Heaven. Are you a drunkard? Saved. Gambler? Saved. Womanizer? Saved. Are you a pervert? Saved. Commit child sacrifice? Saved. I mean after all, these same people tell us all sin is the same and one sin is as great as all sin, right? So why would a gambler go to Heaven but not one who commits child sacrifice? This is incorrect teaching btw.
This is the truth. These people are either jews or coping. Either they want to lead others into sin or they are already in sin. In the latter case, they see themselves named in Romans 1 and are heavily distressed.
These people are little more than a stumbling block. Reject them as being un-Christian and degenerate.
Diminishment of the severity of sin is inherently satanic.
In non-religious logical terms, it's the argument that people can improve their lives, or continue to enjoy the fruits of their labors, when they embrace lies. It's utterly absurd and patently wrong. If you don't plant seeds, you'll never get crops to grow and eat. Thus, if you don't do the work required to enjoy the fruit, you become undeserving of the fruit. If you act and behave in such a way that enables success, you become deserving of that success. If you act antithetical to what's required to succeed, you don't deserve to succeed. It's basic, simple logic. And yet, so many people refuse to think it through, because they're coddled, comforted, and lied to. They're lied to by others, and they lie to themselves, because they think they can still do the things which bring them hedonistic joy (sinful/imperfect), but think they're still worthy of the fruits of righteous/perfect living.
The one counter argument is that we're all sinful by our very nature, which is true. We're mortal, finite, imperfect creatures, and nothing we do will change that. No matter how much we improve, we always fall short of the perfection of God. It's identical to counting to infinity; no matter how high you count, there's still an infinite mass of numbers between where you are and infinity. However, that argument tacitly argues that all sin is equal, that all behavior is equal, that all things are equal, when it's not. People are capable of improving. Different behaviors elicit different outcomes. If all sins and all behaviors were equal, different outcomes wouldn't exist or spring forth from the different inputs. That's just not how reality or logic works. This is also a really good way to figure out who's arguing for this, too. Equating different things to be equal is inherently satanic, and a great way to identify the kind of (((person))) you're dealing with. Equality, egalitarianism, relativism, are all jewish philosophies.
God didn't flood the world or destroy Sodom and Gomorrah because a few people were slight jerks to each other, or because people only went to temple every other week, or said a bad word once in a blue moon. It was because they were abhorrent degenerates, sacrificing children, worshipping demons, murdering, lying, sexual degenerates. It can also be surmised that God didn't punish those groups of people because there were only 1 or 2 degenerates in the midst of mostly good people, but because nearly all of them, or all of them, were. This means that God properly identifies and punishes upon difference in number, i.e. He doesn't equate different things as being equal.
We read of the Pagans and their dumb idols, and in the annals of history, we read that these icons of worship were eventually reduced to nothing in the furnace. The demons which were supposed to dwell therein scattered, their oppressive vessel destroyed and their debility discovered. There was nothing blessed or glorified about the idols. The power of it came from within the corruptible attributes of man, and he committed atrocities because his corruptible state was compelled to do so by the spirit in the statue.
My point is, it is not what is physical that wields power, it is the actions committed because of that which resides inside. The human being himself is a temple, inside lies that thing which he believes. This compels him in deed. Within the righteous man sets the heartfelt alter of the Eternal Creator, the King of Paradise which compels growth and personal virtue. Inside the wicked sits the stations of Mammon and Ba'al, the gods of flesh and fearfulness. From these stations comes little more than lust for merchandise, greed, envy and deception.
My father has crafted the Human form to be his Temple and there within, He wills, is a house of Prayer.
