“But none of my juvenile delinquency involved anything sexual or predatory. And none of it ever reached the police or court of law.”
But sin is sin, right? And it sounds like you never paid the legal consequences...right? Come on tell the rest of us...just what sort of a really nasty person were you as a child! Did you beat up people for no reason.. shoplift? Do drugs and drink alcohol? Sin is sin no matter what it is and it all must be atoned for...right? Right? It doesn’t matter if you were underage and struggling to mature into a decent adult,which you probably are, that is a basically decent person! What really makes you more decent then Josh? All sins from the womb must be atoned for, just like Josh’s...right? If you follow that logic for Josh you must follow it for yourself..come on confess...I’m sure you did something nasty you must publically atone for just like Josh! Come tell us...tell us that one thing you just know you could never admit to having done! I’ll be there is something!
What, nothing!? Well I guess I’ve always figured there are those whose sins will never find them out...only because God in his grace(yes this is in the Bible) doesn’t always requite a penitent person measure for measure for the sins he may have done. (it was done on the cross...you know that contraption of two pieces of wood with the Saviour’s blood all over it!!!!) And if God doesn’t do it to you then why would you wish it on another brother!?
Thank you for that-I really didn’t realize how self righteous I was when thinking about this situation(just didn’t post my thoughts).
In your mind perhaps. Not mine. You see, I view things like murder or rape much differently than, say, lying or eating shellfish.

I did not repeatedly sexually abuse others. Sorry if the distinction is lost on you.

OK, OK! You got me! One time, I....this is hard....I....wore clothes of more than one type of fiber.
