Besides, they're "saved" after all, and they can do what ever they want. I have a friend who has shacked up with several different women and fornicates like a dog in perpetual heat, all the whole quoting scripture. He's what we call a "hypocrite" a "selective christian" a "heretic" among other words.VSOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400266818545081938noreply@blogger.com
