There's such a thing as an ongoing, almost institutionalized or culturally-embedded, socially-sponsored sin, vs. the random individual failing. The individual failing in much easier to repent of, easier to forgive, even easier to eradicate, than the pattern of sin embedded in, and protected by the media, academia, the legal system, etc. etc.
An institution, however imperfect, which calls sin "sin" is far, far less corrupt than an institution that calls sin "Pride" and says "Let's have a parade."
Well put.
Well said! I was thinking along similar lines but saw that you had already made the point, better than I would have.
