"So the, are we to say, "Let's keep on sinning, so that there can be more grace"? Heaven forbid! How can we, who have died to sin, still live in it? Don't you know that those of us who have been immersed into the Messiah Jesus have been immersed into his death? Through immersion into his death we were buried with him; so that just as, through the glory of the Father, the Messiah was raised from the dead, likewise we too might live a new life." - Romans 6:1-4 "What good is it, my brothers, if someone claims to have faith but has no actions to prove it? Is such 'faith' able to save him?" - James 2:14. (see also James 2:18-20) (Not saying that you are actually advocating this as a license to sin, but just to clarify in case of misunderstanding.) Ian
