one is to be not lukewarm. anyone with the skills to be consistently evil already has all the skills to be consistently good. they merely must repent.
another is his conversion - to go from one extreme to another and still be himself.
yet another is there is no sin that cannot be forgiven.
my point here has not been about paul. its been about mindless worship of a man and the doctrines of men. that coupled with an unwillingness to truly repent. why repent when youre right? when youre understanding is perfect? but wheres the proof of that? stubbornness and rebellion? some proof.
