i mean you can say your sorry but if you repeat the action you are not really sorry and to think you are sorry is lying to yourself, but as you would know...cant lie to god... so in fact you are not forgiven for your sins... unless you stop lying to yourself and become truly sorry for your ways.....
all in all its just something i wanted to clear up with your conflicting argument

Whose repeating an action? I mentioned this about 4 pages ago when I marked the distinction between us being sinners by nature (Original sin caused by Adam's fall) and sinning by practice...
I agree that sinning by practice, meaning not being contrite for sin, will bring judment and God hates it...
That SHOULDN'T be the life of a Christian...
Adam said earlier that he fornicates, lies, and that he makes no qualms about it...That = practicing sin...
A true believer will sin, be contrite, but STRIVE toward being more like Christ...not boast in rebellion.
So, again, I ask...where are your assumptions coming from? I don't practice sin. But, when I do fall, I thank God that he's given us Christ who is the propitiation for our sin...by the shedding of his blood.
