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.
You are irght here. He has cast all of our sins (at salvation), past, present, and future, behind his back, cast into the depths of the deepest sea, never to be remembered again. They are
ALL under the blood.
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?
That, as you say, is the way you see it; but not the way the Bible teaches, nor the way that God sees it. It teaches two heresies.
1. It teaches a works salvation--that we end up working our way to heaven.
2. Most of all it teaches the heresy that the blood of Chriist was not sufficient in the atonement to cover all our sins. That's where the works comes. Because Jesus was utterly incapable of atoning for our sins we have to help him along by doing something. That really is akin to blasphemy in my books. I know you don't see it that way Bob, but that is the way it ends up to be. Either his blood is sufficient for all of our sins or it is not. Which way is it?
Whether a man is committing adultery, obese, cheating, lying, or whatever, at the time of his death; even if the sin goes unconfessed because of a heart attach or some other sudden circumstance, he will go straight to heaven. If you deny this, you also deny the sufficiency of the blood of Christ to cover all our sins. In the sight of God all sin is a transgression of the law, and therefore equal.
