are preaching you can live any way you want and
be right that Grace covers any sin, they really believe that, that
is not what the bible says, God
was very concerned about sin so much he sent Jesus his son

are to obey his commandments, not break them, we
are to live a righteous and holy life as possible, the bible plainly list a whole list of things
if we live in will not
to to heaven unless we repent,

to heaven, what

answer to God for leading these people the wrong way, not saying you
are one of them, but
