No, I don't. It's all a bunch of word salad.

"We don't have to sin anymore". What does that even mean? Why did we have to sin before? If we don't have to sin anymore, why do I still feel the desire to sin?

What is different between an addict who believes that Jesus Christ died and resurrected as a substitute for her and a Buddhist monk who doesn't believe in Jesus but has an easier time resisting the temptations of this world through meditation and willpower?

Torben claims that Jesus sets you free from sin through baptism, but there are plenty of people who have been baptized and still feel the desire to sin.

I think he overemphasises on baptism, but he said that he kept sinning too when he was baptized, because he didn't know that you could be set free. They threw him in jail now and he's sharing the gospel to inmates.
