you CAN “ Sin and get away with it “ as far as your Salvation is concerned —- Salvation was a “ GIFT”, remember?
The scripture plainly says:
“no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them”.
I am sorry, friend. But some of your post seems like the vain words spoken of in the passage above.
the only difference is that the one who succumbs to Temptation will be Chastised and the other will not...
The one who gets chastened is the one who sins in ignorance or in any fashion the all-knowing God determines to be chasten worthy. However, the one who knowingly succumbs to temptation has willfully sinned and will suffer the same fate as the infidels (Hebrews 10:26).
Obedience spurred by Love- NOT Fear.
Love enables one to fulfill the law, true. But fear also is a component:
2 Corinthians 7:1
“let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God”.
