ECT What is the true root objection to MAD?

I think it's because; everyone would consider their denomination, "unorthodox?"
Therefore, I really don't expect you to be honest and answer my
simple question?
simple question?
If someone is a member of the "Body of Christ" they would most likely
find it easy to answer such a question!

I once started a thread explaining how that the madist's understand of sin is screwed up. Madists only understand sin as an act. And therefore if every act is forgiven, past and future, then any sin act can never be an issue with God because he no longer imputes sin to us.
Sounds great, doesn't it?
It's awesome to know that God will never impute sin to me while I'm in faith.
However, there is the moral nature of sin that we have to deal with. If a believer sins (commits the act), if you brush it aside as just carnal weakness, or just forget about it because God has forgiven it, you are in fact justifying what you know is wrong. To him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin. If you do this, you are actually hardening your conscience and are desiring to feel justified in your flesh. This is gnosticism. This is the reason why I attack mad head on because I see through it.
A true spirit filled believer cannot justify sin. This doesn't mean that we never commit a sin act, its just that our conscience won't let us attempt to justify what we know is wrong. If we continue to deny our conscience in order to justify what we know is wrong (sin), you are justifying yourself as a sinner. There is no sacrifice for people who justify sin.
Very true.
Gross hates truth and tries to cover it up by sinning.

These are some possible reasons for not answering the question;
1) Fear of having their fellow posters not take them seriously, if
they admit what church or cult they belong to?
2) Immaturity driven reasons?
3) Anger issues?
4) Lack of ability to articulate properly?
5) Hidden reasons, known only to themselves?

Immature conclusion! Extreme form of ignorance! Both would apply here!
Andyc/LA You're being illogical! Why, under any circumstance would someone
who hates truth, seek to cover that fact up, by committing sin? That doesn't
make any sense? Perhaps, you can explain? (Doubtful though)

Andyc, let's see how smart you really are? Explain your comment (explanation)
in terms that would make you look, as if you knew what you were talking about?
This ought to be interesting?

Mad Gross sins then claims all his sins are covered.
Now, you said; "Gross hates truth and tries to cover it up by sinning." How
would sin cover up the fact, that one hates truth? Explain please?

This still doesn't explain how sin covers hate/truth? Please try harder?
You said; "Gross sins then claims all his sins are covered." How many sins
does Gross commit, compared to how many andyc/LA commit?

Does Gross commit a myriad of sins, just so he can claim those sins are
forgiven?
forgiven?
Is that, the M.O. of Gross? to commit as many sins he can, in order to
lay claim that those particular sins are forgiven? Is that what andyc/LA is
trying to say?

Therefore, you're trying to say; GMs sins are committed so he can have
'bragging rights' that those sins are forgiven? Is that what you're saying?
'bragging rights' that those sins are forgiven? Is that what you're saying?
So, the more GM sins, the more he gets to brag about those sins being forgiven!
Now, I think I see what you're getting at?

How many sins must GM commit before he's able to have bragging rights? Copious
amounts or merely a few?

Both LA and andyc I consider to be one poster! Is that okay with you guys?
Both you guys are similar types! My opinion only!
