struggles to understand why God isn’t angry with Christians who sin:

“Then Blink tried to convince me that God isn’t angry with me when I sin. I was like, what?!?

‘Yeah, coz once you become a Christian, all your sins are forgiven — past, present, and future. God sees you as righteous.’

‘But God cannot possibly be seeing me as righteous in the moment when I am sinning again,’ I argued.

‘It’s a positional thing. You’re a saint, a child of God; you’re already forgiven and cleansed.’

‘But you still have to repent when you sin.’

‘Yes, but I think that’s more for us than for God — we have to receive the forgiveness. God has already offered it.’

‘How can God not be angry when we sin? He hates sin!’

‘When Jesus died on the cross, He took upon Him the consequences of sin. One of those consequences is God’s anger. Therefore God cannot be angry with us any more.'”

I like this Blink guy……
