I never said it was.

However, a lost man who divorces and remarries before being saved, when they’re saved, that’s forgiven, blotted out by the blood of the Lamb. But you expect them to leave their spouse or remain with her?
Have you considered God's elect do not do this? And many false believers do?

But living in adultery is OK?
Paul addressing believers at Corinth...

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor thecovetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.1 Corinthians 6:9-11]

Here he told them all who could not inherit the kingdom of God. Yes, adulterers were included. However, he then told them such were some of them. Yes, adultery can be saved.

Many have sketchy backgrounds but do not remain in them after conversion to Christ.

Exactly. They have been forgiven if it. God imputes the Christ’s righteousness unto them and now they stand before Him clothed in the Son’s righteousness.

“Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.” (1 John 3:9)


No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.[NASB]

Get out of the 17th century and get a bible that actually speaks our language.
