During voluntary work I come across a lot of people who have had problems with crime and anger. One person I met told me he had become a Christian, and that he had been forgiven his previous misdeeds-fine so far, however he went on to say that he would be forgiven if he committed further misdeeds as long as he asked forgiveness from God he would get it.
I have no interest in persuading him not to believe in the concept of God's forgiveness, if that works for him that's fine, but still I would like to be able to point out his errors in those thoughts from a Christian perspective, that's if there is an error? it certainly seemed a consistent argument he was putting forward, unfortunately he is not too bright, and I almost made up a biblical story that ended with people with those thoughts being likely to go to hell, but that would have been disingenuous in the extreme. Thanks in advance for any serious answers from Christians.
