SIN IS SIN... does anyone here think that GOD sees the difference in SIN that we do?

That is the very reason why I have trouble agreeing or seeing in scripture where God allows divorce and a subsequent remarriage due to a particular "kind" of sin. [b]ALL sins can be repented of[/b]......Nothing is too difficult for the Lord for them who believe. Blessings in Him, Cindy
Hi FOC,Thanks for these links. I will be checking them out tomorrow when I have time.**************************************************************Hi Cindy,I get your question about whoredom and will answer tomorrow.Please don't forget about this one from p33You said
This passage is very important in that it shows a CHANGE in meting out punishment for sin.
This is what I was getting at... How would you define the 'meting out punishment' now?.
Hope is there.
In the OT---adultery, homosexuality, consensual relations with another during betrothal=death penalty (no chance for a new life/repentance from old life)NT----adultery, homosexuality, consensual relations before marriage=time for repentance/Grace, not instant death.........life/time is given instead to "turn around/away from" one's sins. Hope is there.
