If all sins are forgiven before the lord, why shouldn't I just fuck around my entire life and only ask for forgiveness at the last possible second, thus getting all the benefits of a hedonistic lifestyle along with getting to go to heaven immediately afterwards?

Not all of them…

Because sins harm you, God is telling you to becareful of sinning for your own good, it becomes a slippery slope, as well as hurts your relationship with God.

> thus getting all the benefits of a hedonistic lifestyle along with getting to go to heaven immediately afterwards?

There is a chance that you do that and God still sends you to hell. It's not wise to test God.

The bible acknowledges that Sin in the short term feels, it's like chocolate cake, it looks good, it tastes good, but it's not good for you, and eating too much of it will destroy you.

>But none of the things that you say are sins hurt me,

They hurt you in the sense that your morality is decay and your more inclined to do worse practices, or that what you're doing already is risking you to problems. For example just masturbation distorts your perception of women and as wells as bringing your terrible habits and mentalities.

anal fissures

genital warts

gay bowel syndrom

gout

alcoholism

lung cancer

mental illness

cervical cancer

hemorrhoids

unemployment

shitty friends

drug addiction

poor taste

death

Feel free to contribute.

God doesn't tell us sins are bad just because they go against His will or have negative spiritual effects. Sins are also bad because they have negative health and social consequences. God doesn't want us to do things that hurt us.

How will you know when that last possible second is? Don't wait.

> thus getting all the benefits of a hedonistic lifestyle along with getting to go to heaven immediately afterwards?

God knows your heart. You may say the right words, but I seriously doubt your heart would be in the right place. Salvation isn't merely just saying "Jesus is Lord" - you also have to believe in your heart that Jesus is Lord and that He was crucified and raised from the dead.


317c64 No.620013

You could do that, but you wouldn't like heaven very much. None of the hedonism you pursued in your life would be there, you'd be very bored for eternity; you might even ask to go elsewhere, because heaven would just be too boring to a hedonist.


6bb758 No.620014

>>619987

Because you actually have to have faith in God, because you actually have to love God, and actually have to be willing to obey him to be saved. Is it possible to have a repentance on your death bed? Sure. But said repentance implies that even if you weren’t dying, you’d still have a real faith in God. If you have no real, living faith, but merely a dead faith, then you will not be saved.

>addicted to sin

>i'll just quit before I die by using the magic words hehe

No.

repentance isn't a magic formula you simply utter like a wizard; it involves turning from sin, changing your heart, admitting your mistakes, hating your sin and desiring purification even if it is painful. The chance that you could achieve authentic repentance when you never practiced it before is extremely improbable.


7882db No.620018

>>619995

That's because you don't have a rightly ordered soul. To the righteous doing right is pleasurable and doing wrong is painful, opposite for the sinful. Work on this, we all are.

God will still punishyoubin earth and you won't get rewards in the afterlife

26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:

27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.

The situation you’re describing is essentially impossible. The only way to get to Heaven is loving God and having faith in him. You can’t get there and not enjoy it, because the sort of person who’d hate heaven is going to the other place.

>>620020

Your views are adolescent, but it is indeed true that if you can’t stand a life without bad stuff in it, then you’re heading to Hell.

>The situation you’re describing is essentially impossible.

It is, it's meant to be more metaphorical than anything, a little similar to lottery winners who don't know how to manage money and end up going broke. A better example would simply have been demons in the presence of Jesus who couldn't stand his presence, and fled. In short, if a hedonist suddenly found himself in heaven, he wouldn't care for it very much.

Because by the time you are riddled in filth and sin, chances are that you will feel like not coming back when the time comes or your end will come so suddenly you might not have the chance to.

Be the watchful servant. Imagine this, when the Lord came back to the house in your care He found you hosting a the most rubbish house party ever with alcohol, drugs, wanton sex, and almost everything on the list that the Lord forbade you to including the daemons in the backyard. Even if you beg for forgiveness with full sincerity and with His infinite mercy, I do not think you will swallow that one down for eternity (or at least a very long time).

My friend, God bless you. Forgive me, I say this because I love you, not out of spite or criticism. To live your life "fucking around" and try to exploit God's mercy at the end of it all, is simply not to love God. At the end of all things, even if God forgives you, you will hate it all if you don't love God. Lord have mercy on both of us, brother.

1 Thessalonians 5:2

2 Peter 3:10

Proverbs 17:28

Proverbs 18:7

Proverbs 18:1

Proverbs 3:21

God does not want you to perish, but if you choose to live in sin and do not repent even with Gods knowledge that it will lead to destruction, that last possible second will be stolen from you before you can use it to open your lips to cry out for Gods mercy.

It is better to stay in the sight of God and seek him now, than to think you could deceive him at the last possible second.

That and hedonism / sin in general really does ruin your life even if left unchecked for a small moment. Trust me, I've been there. Lost friends, relationships, jobs, all kinds of things because of that.

You would be better off not putting yourself through that, and trusting in God with all of your heart. Pray to God that he will show you the purpose for your life.

Because God looks at the heart, man looks on the outside. If you keep on sinning, then you really don't believe in God, and you aren't saved. After healing a person, Jesus Christ specifically ordered them to "sin no more." The General Epistle of James states demons believe in God, but they shudder at the sound of His Name.

Honestly, if you read the entire Bible, the answer will become apparent to you by the Wisdom of the Holy Spirit. Don't sin, be holy for God is Holy.

And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

Imagine if you had a son or daughter you loved and wanted the best for. You love them so much you literally died for them in one of the most humiliating and painful ways.

Then when they hear from people not in your family you'll forgive them they decide to say "f you" and mess around all their life. Then when they've given you no glory as a son or daughter and has dragged your good name in the dirt by doing drugs, engaging in worst sex acts they come up to you and won't humble themselves but demand your forgiveness and to be treated like the faithful sons and daughters.

The prodigal son had the humility to say "I am not worthy to be your son, let me be your servant."

If you think a pleasure is meaningful/benificial, you are a depraved man. The only thing beneficial is following God and choosing the hard right over the easy wrong.

How is that a person whose sins have been forgiven not be transformed within?

How is that a person transformed by Jesus Christ will desire to "fill up their sins to the full"?

A person is either:

"Free" from the true righteousness in Jesus Christ and a slave to sin.

— OR —

Free from sin and a slave to the true righteousness in Jesus Christ.

There is no other option.
