    You could have a divorce before Jesus died for your sins too. It’s just you’re no longer going to go to hell for it.

    But in one of the books I want to say Paul maybe Ephesians talks about this specific issue and he says that by that measure shouldn’t we sin all the more so that Grace can abound all the more, and of course the answer is no.

      Ah yes, the Apostle Paul would be such an authority on the matter, a former Pharasee who never met Jesus or his handpicked Apostles who just happened to have a “vision” of Christ pretty much confirming “No, you guys, what I actually meant was this.” And managed to hijack the religion to serve the needs of the rich.

        Hijacked it for the Greeks is more like it. But, frankly, Jesus’s actually apostles were very much failing pretty spectacularly to spread the sect among the Jews so, eh.
