I consider what Rockrz posted an attack.

Proverbs 28v13
He who covers his sins will not prosper,
But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.
1) Confession
2) Forsaking
3) Granting of Mercy

David did that after he sinned... he confessed it, forsook it and asked for forgiveness and sought the mercy of the Lord.
God called him a man after His own heart for this.
Saul repented cause he was worried about what sin might do to him... David repented cause he was worried that his sin would somehow hurt / displease the Lord
This is so insane, it proposes sin is no longer an issue in society.
Salvation is a relationship with the Father thru Jesus and just like any relationship it can be broken off cause we have free will and are not robots.
2 Corinthians 5:17-19
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
Sin isn't the issue, the issue is people don't have the Lord Jesus in their lives. Stop preaching sin and start preaching Jesus, and sin will reduce.
Its about focus. What are you focused on? The sin of the world or the solution for the world?
We should be keeping our garments (lives) clean as we walk with the Lord understanding we still live in a world full of sin and darkness being sober and vigilant because your adversary the devil seeks whom he "may" devour (1 Peter 5:8)
The Lord would not be giving us this warning if it was not possible to be devoured after having been born again.
Poison dart in the arm = sin in a human.
Jesus dying on the cross = dart removed from arm
Following Holy Spirit = taking medicine to combat the poison.
The enemy still shoots darts (temptation to sin), do you have your armor on (faith in Christ and following the Holy Spirit)?

The Holy Spirit always, always leads us back to what God has said.
Those that do not repeat what God says are liars and are following a different spirit and another jesus preaching another gospel... the one that please satan and leads people to hell.
