I'm not going to heaven again. I'm STILL going to heaven.
But what if you sin like that multiple times a day, as most people do, even if the sins are minor (a concept I know you don’t believe in, but humor me).
I don't know you, so I'm just speculating here. Disclaimer: I am not accusing, nor reading your mind. This is a scenario, strictly for the sake of discussion.
Supposing you are married and had children........
What would happen if they violated one of the household rules? How would it be handled?
Do you or would you disown your children every time they disobey you? Do you or would you write them out of your will for every infraction? Do they or would they have to come groveling back, begging for forgiveness, promising to work it off to show how sorry they are?
Do you or would you divorce your wife every time she does something against you? Do you or would you kick her out and change the locks on the door every time? Do you or would you give her the new key and remarry her when she comes back begging for forgiveness, doing *penance* to show how sorry she is for having offended you?
Do you or would you require restitution from the ones who you claim to love in order for them to be in your good graces again? And if they don't, then what? Do you or would you abandon them until they do it *right*?
Is that a love relationship? Is that true forgiveness from the heart? Does forgiveness even demand restitution? Or is it the canceling of the debt, no string attached?
Would you consider that a healthy relationship?
I noticed that you never answered my question but instead turned it around and tried to put me in the hot seat with your subtle but derogatory comments about the Catholic Church. Nice try, but please, just answer the question. I truly want to know.
