I don't think I know anyone who would say we're not required to give up sin as Christians. It's just that it's so hard, and people wish to avoid despair over constant failure by pointing out that God still loves sinners. (Which I presume you agree He does, yes?) <BR/><BR/>I know you guys like to point out that it's not impossible to do right, which may be so, but I'm not sure where to go from what you're saying, in the light of how difficult it is nonetheless. It's all very well for those of us who've been raised on it... In short, what provision do you make in your theology for those that try and try and constantly fail? Are they (we) in or out? <BR/><BR/>Well, perhaps I should read your next post for that.<BR/><BR/>I like the stuff about repentance being an ongoing decision.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01068522009052343860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7442903.post-1115087636455706192005-05-03T14:33:00.000+12:002005-05-03T14:33:00.000+12:00I really like this post.I think you explained/desc...I really like this post.<BR/>I think you explained/described repentence very well!

Repentance, I believe, is important in the fact that we have to repent of our sins to be saved. It not only shows our wanting to be forgiven, it also shows our humility. Keep up the good work. I am on vacation, but will be back monday. Have a great day,<BR/>-CTJustin C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01250490580506540183noreply@blogger.com
