We die to our sins.
God tells us it is an abomination to condemn the righteous and to acquit the guilty. So we know PSA is a false doctrine. But there remains one solution - one that is a righteous apart from the law. Make the guilty innocent. How? One must be born again.
There is no condemnation on Christ.
So, one is forgiven over turning over a new leaf?
The blood of Jesus doesn't bring forgiveness; but a person is forgiven because they are innocent of crimes that they previously committed?
How are they forgiven? How is justice satisfied over the sins that they committed before they were born again?
If a murderer is being tried, he is not going to be acquitted just because he says he won't do it again.
There has to be a payment for what he did...retributive justice.
You are saying that a person can be acquitted just because he won't commit the same crime again.
Say that to the family of the victim in the case of a murder.
They require justice...even due penalty for the crime.
Should the officer who killed George Floyd be acquitted of his crime if he simply says, "I won't do it again"?
Or, is he justified because he is robed in the righteousness of a police uniform?
I don't think so...
