did jesus not die for my sin before I was even born?
you mentioned jail.. did jesus take my punishment (jail term) or did he not?
it is not like jesus died for my sin after I commited it, he paid for it before I was even born.
why do we want to keep crucifying Christ all over again?
it is like you excuse your sin as long as you do something, and someone else does not get away with it because he does not do something (ar actually you assume they did nothing)
can a child of God sin, and not be chastened by God, or KNOW it is a sin?
I think not.
if you have been freed from the curse of the law. the law can never curse you again, if it can, you have not been freed from the curse of the law. you are still under the law.
Yes the Lord Jesus died for our sins before we were born in the flesh.
That does not mean we are already forgiven of them before we commit them, you still have to repent and ask forgiveness of them to accept His blood to cover them.
I was comparing how in society after a person has spent time in jail or prison, they still hold that sin against the person by making it hard for them to get jobs, live in peace and privacy, and set new restrictions on them.
Lord Jesus said once you repent and ask forgiveness of what you have done, we are to not hold that against you any more.
Lord Jesus does believe and taught in a punishment for correction, but not to punish others with death.
Which is why Paul was so adamant to warn believers over and over again about sin and giving into it again.
You are not crucifying Jesus again by repenting of, confessing your sins and asking for forgiveness of them when you do sin again. You are obeying Him in love to say you are sorry for disobeying Him.
1 John and 2 Peter both show that future sins are not forgiven, tell after they have been done and then confessed and asked forgiveness of.

2 Peter 1:5-9[/h]
5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7 and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. 8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductivein your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.
