Forgetfulness isn't a sin but lying and stealing are? What about being angry unjustly, or harboring doubts and fears unreasonably? How do you rate some sins bad enough to get a name blotted out of the book of life while other sins are not bad enough? Don't you know that committing one sin is as good as breaking the whole law?
When God saves a sinner, does that sinner become sinlessly perfect?

Do you endure to the end because God told you to or because you have no choice as a result of Christ dwelling in you?

Endure what?
To the end of what?
Good question. I was asking Hoping for an answer.

He tries to add words to scripture, so he's probably not a good source on the subject.

Thanks, my mistake.
As it seems to be scripture you have no need to heed, why does what I say matter to you?
Jesus said "He who endures till the end shall be saved". (Matt 10:22)
By the grace of God, I will obey His commandments, till the end.
What words did I add to scripture?
From post #39..."Do you honestly think we are to endure just to the end of the month?"
All sins get the same treatment.
God is a just God.
Forgetting something isn't a sin.
The apostles forgot to take bread onboard their boat, and Jesus didn't even mention it.
Yes.
They are the same thing.
All sins are not the same. Some sins are worthy of death while others are not. If God sees every sin worthy of death then by law every Jew in the OT should have been hanged on a tree.
Deuteronomy 21:21-23
King James Version
21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.
22 And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree:
23 His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God
that thy land be not defiled, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.

Every sort of sin separates men from God.All sins are not the same. Some sins are worthy of death while others are not. If God sees every sin worthy of death then by law every Jew in the OT should have been hanged on a tree.

Thanks be to God that Jesus provided the means of redemption and reconciliation.
Every sort of sin shows one has not repented of sin, cast off the flesh, and been reborn to walk in the Spirit.
Every sort of sin shows one is still a child of the devil. (1 John 3:10)
All the devil's children will suffer the same fate.

OK...If forgiveness is warranted...I ask for your forgiveness.
I didn't cite a scripture, just the intent of a scripture.

You misrepresented the intent of scripture. That's not too surprising since you yourself are confused about it.

It wasn't misrepresented at all.
Do you have an alternate intent that I may have missed?

Absolutely you misrepresented it. You ADDED words to CHANGE the meaning.
I explained already. You rejected the obvious context and content of the passage.
