But I don’t think it would be right to present that position as a clear teaching.
Unfortunately that is not what you are witnessing in this thread. Look at all the twisted responses to the idea that God will forgive any and all offenses so long as there is genuine contrition. They call His mercy injustice. They call His generous loving-kindness immoral. These are not simple acts of disbelief or a benign ignorance. These responses are acts of will.
Do you capitalize good and true, because you use your own definitions for them?
These "twisted" responses are because, looking at the entire bible, Mercy and loving kindness mean something totally different in a christian context. It's you who are twisting.
