I feel the reality of the church is pretty darn good. Why are so many people guilt ridden to be part of the reality. |

But since you want in on Tex's argument... Is that the second time or more you've used the "F" word in your life? If so, then you must believe failing to forsake that sin means you were never truly repentant the other times you repented of that sin. You've lived your whole life without any intent to repent of your sins. Which means you've taken the sacrament, attended the temple, and given your infant blessings unworthily all this time. Bummer for you. I'd take a fudgepacker who truly repented to bless my baby over someone who swears with no intent to repent. |

Feb. 1, man commits same sin again. Question: Was man worthy to take sacrament Jan 12 or not? Was man worthy to give blessing? Did the recommision of the same sin nullify the previous repentance or not? |

Second, it's a totally specious question. The only person capable of sitting in judgment in a REAL situation is a bishop, to say nothing of some half-baked hypothetical designed to push someone's agenda in a meaningless debate. I'm happy to talk general principles, but I'm not going to be drawn into making pronouncements on when some dreamed-up sinner has repented of, or received forgiveness for, some dreamed-up (and unspecified) sin. |

I'm getting to know you Tex and I was more right than ever when I pegged you as a Pharisee. You define sin as anything that could get you excommunicated. You're stuck in the law of Moses. You're so stuck on the law you can't see. Sin becomes so large and scary to you that you have to compartmentalize it into only the big things that you don't struggle with. You're the 90 and 9 that "need no repentance". |
