1. My understanding of the Atonement means that Christ paid for my sins in full, past, present and future.
2. John says that if we confess our present sins the blood of Christ still cleanses, because they have been covered.
3. Christ sacrifice was once for all time. Let's not forget that great truth.
4. Only his shed blood can take away sins, not bulls and goats, and certainly not punishment (Heb 9:22; 10:1-4).
5. Show me in Scripture where chastisement/punishment takes away sins?
I really think you struggle to be completely honest TC;
If He remembers a sin of yours again, then something is wrong, is the only way I know how to put it. I certainly not going to say the Lord told a lie.
The way I have it figured out is the atonement was made to God. When Jesus gave His blood, He gave it all. When you sin after being saved, Jesus has to plead your case to God for you, who has the atonement. God must have it. What about when a new convert is saved?
Now that is what I believe.
I was praying you came back with an answer that was close to mine, I guess it was not to be.
