So what is the value of confession?

I did not learn of Christ by going to Church, i learned by reading the Bible for the purpose of proving to myself that this person called Jesus was nothing more than some one trying to make people believe he was the son of God.

The opposite happened, i don,t know how, at any rate although i wanted to be around people who had the same experience that i had i did not think i was even fit to call my self a Christian and still don,t for that matter, although i did not get it from the Bible.

Although there are few people, even Christians who understand, i finally did talk to some one and found that they also had been worried about the same thing.

I was made aware that Jesus and his apostles were outlaws as far as this world were concerned and that even a thief can repent and be saved.

The apostles were not a bunch of china dolls, they were men, yet in my view so many Christians would not even consider our lord himself to be a christian, so i do not even go to church any more.

Because i can not be other than what i am, good or bad.

I don,t know that this confession that we are talking about does any good at all but if a man or woman can see themselves in the same light they could see some one else it may help them to over come what they hate about them selves.
