Then does that mean I can sin all I want now? Considering he already paid for it?
SWEET JESUS! Masochism here I come...

You are advocating what some in early Christianity thought. Here's Paul's response:
"What should we say, then? Should we go on sinning so that grace may increase? Of course not! How can we who died as far as sin is concerned go on living in it?" (Romans 6:1-2)
So, what do you think?

what that really means is because he died for your sins if you slip up a couple of times and you confess you have sined and asked for forgiveness than you are forgiven for that sin, but that doesn't mean you can just sin, ask for forgiveness and everything will be alright again, because your relationship between you and God would not be alright, you should develope a relationship with God that makes you smile and likes he's your bestfriend, i know to non- christains it sounds crazy to have someone you can't see be your bestfriend, but think of it as having a bestfriend over the internet, you may never get to see them but you can become very very close, so atleast try getting so close to God that you don't want to sin anymore, and yes it's possible. Hope this helped!

1 John 3:8 But when people keep on sinning, it shows they belong to the Devil, who has been sinning since the beginning.
This verse is confirming the people who continue to sin without guilt or repentance does not belong to the family of God.
If a Christian falls into sin, and we all do, the Holy Spirit sends a remorseful feeling of guilt causing a desire to turn from it.

The Bible refutes that idea over and over. One cannot live a life free from sin if he still loves sin and continues in it. Being forgiven means many things including forgiving others as well as leaving your life of sin. One cannot claim to love God and sin.

That's really immature of someone to do that. If you were on the cross and dieing for someone do you think you would want them to use you as just a way to sin all you want and get away with it? He died so that you could be forgiven of your sins not sin all you want to.

Well, if you want to.. Go ahead... Remember this, you do at your own peril... We were not made free to sin... If you have become a real Christian, you'll understand that there are still consequences to your sin.
God will not be mocked and He is patient. You can push Him, but remember He is just and fair. You've been warned.

Go for it dude. He died on the assumption you were gonna sin. If you don't sin the bugger will have died in vain. For god's sake man DO IT, you owe your savior that much.

If you still want to sin, I would say that you are not truly repentant, and therefore not forgiven. Yet. I pray that God will show you the light and true joy. Amen.
