Everyone talks about how Jesus is so forgiving; true, but after forgiveness he says, sin no more! To the adulteress: I do not condemn you either. Go on your way and sin no more. John 8:11 To one healed: Behold, you are made whole: sin no more least a worse thing come unto you. John 5:14
Jesus said, If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out. And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell. Mark 9:43-47. He doesn't want us to maim ourselves. He is only illustrating how serious continuing to sin is. Jesus is desperately trying to tell us that to enter the Kingdom and escape hell, sin has to go. He knew false ministers with false gospels promising freedom to continue to sin would arise after he left. Changes in our heart through the missing cross to purity can take away the desire of the hand, foot, and eye to cause us to sin. Everyone is going to be purified; in this life by the cross, or in the next life with great pain, difficulty, and loss. See Is there Hope for All for details.
The Kingdom's availability to us has been forgotten; and godless men's false doctrines deny the necessity of repentance, which prevent our entry into the Kingdom and leave us captive to sin. For today's deficit sects have a form of godliness, but deny the power of God to change us to a sinless state. The deficit sects have lost the true gospel of Christ and the cross of Christ, both of which are the power of God. So, all of deficit sects are in the ditch, led by there by blind guides. Christ's blood sacrifice and gospel have been trampled under foot by these deficit sects that have made peace wit
