something to think about you fools

Would you say this gives folk who claim to be saved a free license to do what they like, so long as they confess is later?

I won't go into that whole discussion again, it's hopeless anyway. But even if you had nothing to worry about, I would expect that someone who claims to follow Christ and who claims to have been saved by him would at least try not to do things Jesus has clearly stated you shouldn't do. The fact that you won't be punished for something doesn't mean it's okay to do it. You don't show much gratitude to Jesus if you don't care at all whether you do something he dislikes.

Love is an emotion based on biochemical process. Jesus is not a currently living individual. Therefore Jesus cannot "love" you, me, or anyone else within this context.

Easy enough.

Purely a biochemical process? Has science succeeded in a complete reduction of the emotion we call love?

Your own verse contradicts your sentiments. Did you not notice the phrase 'cleanse us from all unrighteousness'? Clearly, if someone is not cleansed from all unrighteousness (and demonstrates this by, say, raping and killing in accordance with Halitose's example), then he has never properly pented and repented. How, then, can he be 'saved'?

Let be more clear:

1. Your own verse states that upon properly confessing one's sins, God (being infinitely faithful and just) will causally influence the person's moral fiber, freeing one from all unrighteousness.
2. X demonstrates at least some measure of unrighteousness.
3. It follows from 1 and 2 that X has not properly confessed his sins in accordance with scriptural requirement.
4. Properly confessing one's sins is a necessary condition for one's being saved.
5. From 3 and 4, it follows that X is not saved.

So your own verse seems to suggest than anyone demonstrating unrighteousness is not saved.

Could you direct me to the peer-reviewed scientific journal that lists the biochemical compounds with their targeted brain regions that induce the emotion of love?

Thanks in advance.

Anything else you need can be found easily enough with a little searching on your part. The above link took me three seconds to find with a Google search of '"biochemical" love'. Obviously the biological reactions described have been reduced for mass consumption (ie dumbed down), but I have faith in your ability to find more in-depth analysis on your own.

Except for being unemployed his whole life because he can't spell.

Well, if life on earth becomes too unpleasant, he can always end it and get to heaven a bit faster. It's a sin, but who cares?
