Paul says people would come and use "grace" as a means to commit sexual perversion, aka "licentiousness". The word has bound up in it the idea of "freedom from natural bounds of sexual purity in order to commit sexual perversion". How else can grace be a means to licentiousness than to claim it is "freedom" to do it? That's exactly what OSAS does: gives "freedom" in the name of grace to live in bondage to sin.
Yes, there are licentious people. Jude condemned them to hell. James spoke of them, as CLAIMING to ave faith.
But tht does not negate what the word means. You claimed the word means something that it does not. In doing that you LIED.
Yet here you are continuing to try to defend your LIE.
You own up to nothing because you, by your own words, insist "we can't keep the law". Is that owning up? No! That's making an excuse. We don't pump our chests in self righteousness because we saints know overcoming temptation is only by the indwelling power of Jesus' righteousness -- conversely, those who whine and complain they can't overcome temptation are condemned by their own words as lacking the overcoming power of Jesus. Do you really expect to get away with telling God in the day of Judgment, "No one can keep the law" with Daniel and his three friends standing there in front of you?
so what should we do? All become legalists claiming we keep the law (when we do not) pump our chests praising God how we are not like the sinner (when we are) Go around telling everyone how righteous we are. And how we have earned our salvation (when we have not and CAN NOT) Go around telling others how we do not murder. Do drugs, commit adultry etc etc. so we are not evil (hereby EXCUSING our own sin, as a non issue, instead of focusing on our own sin, and allowing God to help us with our own sin, and allowing God to work on those people and their sin) basically do what you and every legalist from the time of adam has dne.
or own up to our sin, confess them, Stop looking to self and how good we think we are. And turning to God, learn to love as God loved, Learn to seek after the things of the spirit as Paul told us to. And seek to grow in christ
If you spent as much time trying to take care of your own sin and your own self righteousness as you do trying to attack prople who trust God and seek to serve and trust in him, You may be able to repent. But I fear from what I have witnessed from you that your pride is too deep.
Until ten, you will just continue to be another self righteous pharisee who attack the people of God. You will get yours one day my friend. But there is stil hope for you. I pray and hope you will repent.. God loves you/ and I pray you see that, and how damaging your gospel is to you and those who you try to teach.
