While this is better than good news for us all it is also sad to say that some use this as an excuse to accept any kind of ungodly behaviour.
God said thou shalt not murder- I cannot come here as a murderer with intentions to keep murdering all the time trying to convince everyone that God is ok with my continued murdering. Yep sin is sin, we all stumble but we are not to have a lifestyle based on what God hates. God indeed acepts those who are struggling to get free and is forgiving when we stumble and repent but never mistake mercy and love for weakness. If one spends their whole life and lifestyle devoted to that which God hates and purposes in their heart to do so then that one will find themselves in dire straights on judgement day.
These are of course my opinions on the subject.

Yep , I agree..... sin is sin and we cannot put any in a catagory and say one is worse than the other . We are fooling no body but ourselves. God is not mocked and those who think they can be saved and continue doing the things before they were saved are not saved at all.
We have the Holy Spirit who helps us through all our temptations and we can purpose in our minds and hearts with the help of the Holy Spirit to follow God's plan. We have also been given choice to use wisely.
I for one cannot understand how some one like you said a murder or whoever can continue on the same path if they are saved and expect to receive God's blessings.
Of course none of us is perfect but we pick our selves up , ask for forgiveness and walk the straight path of righteousness.
And like you said my son some do use this excuse to justify their behaviour.That is why you see so many just walking around like zombees not know ing their purpose . Sorry , my friend , it doesn't work that way. Sin is sin and God hates sin but loves the sinner.
Repent , pick up your mat and follow Jesus Christ whom to know is life eternal. No other way will work.
