Sure there is -" god "has committed MANY sins (As defined supposedly by himself) and has no one to go to for forgiveness so it cannot be "saved"
The "hole" started after Jesus's death. And "Jesus died for our sins" so we now were saved by "grace". We don't repent all of our sins. All men fall short. All men separate themselves from God by sin. But then God "saves" them by "grace".
How many unrepented sins can you commit and still be saved by grace? How do you know if your sins are being forgiven. If you steal but don't repay the person that you stole from, are you truly repentant? And if you are not truly repentant, is your sin truly forgiven? Are you still separated from God? If God "saves" you in the end by "grace" -- then do you have to truly repent for any of your sins?
