    If a woman of ill repute becomes a Christian, and confesses her sins, can she expect on going forgiveness while she keeps her job?

    How can God forgive adultery if you continue therein?

    God did permit non saved to depart and divorced the saved partner, and if they did that, the injured party was freed to remarry in the Lord!

    That does not say that "Christ died in vain." It does not even come close to implying it.

    You said:
    ... I called on you to support your claim and you have, so far, failed to do so.

    Is there no proof of any relationship between "God [forgiving] sin unrepented of" and "Christ [dying] in vain"? Is your statement false?

    [As a point of exegesis on 1 John 3:9 ... "doth not commit sin" does not mean the same thing as "remain unrepentant".]

    The Christian tells a lie, and dies right after doing that, saved or lost?

    It depends on the type of lie.

    All lie is sin, so anything said not repented/confessed gets them into hell, right?

    What if love and faith motivates the lie?

    The point is, you say Christians can continue to live in sin without repenting, and be forgiven. You cannot prove this with scripture.

    I say forgiveness depends on repentance and I've proven it several times so far with scripture.

    Not true. Paul says death alone breaks the marriage bond. And divorce is not valid in God's sight. The Christian is not bound to submit to the unbeliever, That is, to remain unequally yoked if the unbeliever divorces her or him.

    There is a sex trafficking case currently in the news. If a sex-slave gets saved, would she loose her salvation because her circumstances prevented her from leaving her "job"?
    If a prostitute were to get saved, do you believe that the Holy Spirit is capable of changing the desire of her heart so she would want to do some other "job"?
    To answer directly, yes ... God will forgive her while she keeps her job and God will continue to work on her heart to change it so that soon she will want to quit that job. I was saved while entangled in criminal activities and God still honored my salvation while an arsonist and a drug smuggler. "God loves us just as we are, but he loves us too much to leave us there." I can testify to the truth of that statement.

    You have not proven that a marriage between a believer and an unbeliever is a covenant marriage with God. As I have explained Paul indicates otherwise. Until you refute that with more than opinion and fiat, there is no evidence that there is adultery.

    In those cases where there is 'adultery' (per Jesus statements), there is no evidence that God cannot forgive a believer who obeys the command to confess the sin. Once forgiven, the sin of divorce and the ongoing adultery are "under the blood of Jesus" and "remembered no more" and "as far as the East is from the West". You have given no evidence from scripture that this sin is UNFORGIVABLE.

    God disagrees with you on that, as he stated to paul the left behind is free to remarry now if they so choose, just marry a Christian!

    Are you saying holiness and righteousness are optional in the Christian life?

    No one has said this!

    No you haven't. You've added your own words to scripture in a pathetic attempt to "prove" your position.
