One that a person repents of and ceases doing.

A sheep is a follower of Jesus, once he quits following, he's a goat.

Did Peter ever quit believing, though? That's how one loses salvation, not because of a temporary sin.

So...if I willingly sin, do I need to repent? Don't complicate it... just answer the question.

Another one for you. If you look in the mirror, you can rebuke yourself for being nasty for no reason.

Are you a politician? Because you sure like to dance around questions.

Wow, so no actual answer to the quote? Why bother? It's ok very clear to me what he means. I suspect you just don't want to accept the logical meaning. Or maybe you think atheists get to heaven by following their concious instead of accepting Christ?

Responding to a list of questions published in the paper by Mr Scalfari, who is not a Roman Catholic, Francis wrote: “You ask me if the God of the Christians forgives those who don’t believe and who don’t seek the faith. I start by saying – and this is the fundamental thing – that God’s mercy...

Like the fact that he seems to have said atheists can go to heaven? Obviously you have no answers.

And yet another reason to never want to be Catholic. Apparently, calling other Christians stupid isn't a sin for you, but hey if it is you can just confess it to a man and be fine... So why should any sin matter?

So I guess that the liberal pope does not bother you? It's not as if there haven't been corrupt popes before. Why do I never get answers?

You really aren't paying attention so why bother? I didn't say the church changed its position, I said that the Pope seems to be approving of contraceptives.

It's biblical. Sin is something we do, no sin is our identity.

Leviticus 18:22 "Do not practice homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman. It is a detestable sin." (NLT) Leviticus 20:13 "If a man practices homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman, both men have committed a detestable act. They must both be put to death...

Noting that the virus may be linked to birth defects when transmitted from a pregnant woman to her unborn baby, the reporter asked the Holy Father about proposals involving “abortion, or else avoiding pregnancy” in areas where Zika virus is prevalent. The Pope responded by emphatically stating...
