“There have been numerous discussions on God's ability to forgive sin. All sin. Forgiveness through Christ is complete. Absolute. However, the bible is replete with the consequences of forgiven sin. Follow the children of Israel as they take their 11-day journey to the promised land, only to be turned back, forced to wander for another 40 years. King David's illicit relationship with Bathsheba ended in the death of his child and the challenge to the throne by another child. The thief on the cross asked and received forgiveness, but he still died on the cross for his transgression. There are consequences of forgiven sin.”
