DHK said:Simple, but not Scriptural.
If I disobey my father, he is still my Father. I may tell a lie. But my Father does not disown my, and neither do I deny my Father by telling a lie. To say such is ridiculous, and neither does the Bible teach as much.
This is what the Bible says:
1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Sin is breaking the law, not denying Christ. Stick with what the Bible says.

Jhn 15:5 I am the vine, ye [are] the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
Jhn 15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast [them] into the fire, and they are burned.
Jhn 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
Jhn 15:8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
Jhn 15:9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
Jhn 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
If we don't keep His commandments, Jesus is saying that He will no longer love us. That's a pretty dire consequence. What do you think Christ's judgement will be for this person?
