Kindred,
The farther you are away from the Lord's promise, the farther away from the Lord and Heaven's Gate.
Believing that you are saved is not the same as actually being saved.
There are ministers that will promise you what you want to hear, not want you need to hear.
Shepherds that talk the talk, but never walk the walk, leading into temptation and sins, all the while, promising forgiveness and salvation.
Sin is sin; and the practice of sin is sacrilegious and is not tolerate by the Lord.
Having unethical ministers forgive that which the Unholies have no moral authority to forgive, will not wipe away the sins, the crimes of sacrilege, or the harm and injuries.
Forgiveness never wipes away sins or cleanse the stain of unholiness; for that, sinners need to confess, repent and atone.
Forgiveness does not turn back time to before the harm and injuries; the injured will still be injured and the sinner will still have committed sinful crimes against the Lord and humanity.
The process of forgiveness does serve the purpose of healing for the victim, not the sinner.
What will serve the healing for the sinner is redemption; the process of confession, repentance and atonement.
Conflating forgiveness with redemption will lead nowhere.
There is a purpose for everything under Heaven.
The farther you are away from your original purpose, the farther you are from the Lord's blueprint.
When you go too far, then the possibility of damnation become very real.
Keep to the path of the Lord's promise and realize the Lord's blueprint.
You might be amazed at what you will find when the Lord's dreams come true.
