Aaaah, you like my "habitual sinner" terminology.
But, dost thou understandeth that there are multitudes
in the churches today who are habitual sinners?
Ah, yes, starting with you! Most likely a habitual adulterer.
Mat 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Jas 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one
point, he is guilty of all.
1Jn 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
The reality is that you have a huge stumbling block right smack-dab in the middle of your of soteriological view. I’d suggest you earnestly study to understand Progressive Revelation because you demonstrate you are spiritually discerned (1 Cor 2:11-16) concerning the object of your faith and failing to understand the matter of salvation by the free gift of grace alone, through faith alone, in the promise of Christ alone.
Rom 4:13-25 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world,
was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law,
but through the righteousness of faith. (14) For
if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: (15) Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is,
there is no transgression. (16)
Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
Rom 5:15-21 But not as the offence,
so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace,
which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. (16) And not as
it was by one that sinned,
so is the gift: for the judgment
was by one to condemnation,
but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. (17) For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) (18)
Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. (19) For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. (20) Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound.
But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: (21) That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
You are not the first wannabe fruit inspector that I’ve seen resort to a works based theology to peddle his own righteousness and attack those whom he wishes to judge according to his pet peeve sins…but perhaps you would like to clear this matter up by telling us the exact line of sin(s) that cannot be crossed wherein you have maintained a perfect record which would justify your salvation? I'd really like to know how you know that you've earned your way to the kingdom of heaven...
