"By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."
"If you abide in me and my words abide in you, you may ask what you will and it shall be done for you. My Father is glorified in your bearing much fruit and becoming my disciple. "
"Abide in my love. You will abide in my love it you keep my commandments just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in His love."
The Lord says; "Straight are the ways of the Lord, the just walk in them but sinners stumble."
Those who sin stumble because they do not walk in the ways of the Lord.
So what scripture verse or verses tells us what the ways of the Lord are ?
evangelicals stumble because they cannot reconcile a LOVING, MERCIFUL an JUST god with their self imposed image of being a BROKEN, DOWN TRODDEN, WORTHLESS glob of flesh.
They feel the only way out of their situation is REPENTANCE 24/7 and imposing christian sharia law on the masses.

False teachers present a false love of satan, not Jesus' love which produces a holy and righteous vessel good for the Master's use.

I can reconcile it easily. I am not worthy of forgiveness, but he died on the cross for me anyway. While I was yet a sinner, he died for me.
And no--your repentance or living under a law does not affect your forgiveness, or mine. If you're going to claim to speak for us, at least get it right.
