I HAVE accepted Jesus.
Its a lot of that narrow and arcane theology that turns me off.
I still sin.A lot less than I used to but the Devil does get into me once in a while.I admit that.I forgive myself and try to do better the next day.

not your job [smile]. You won't ever be much good at it either, if you ever REALLY screw up (or, what is worse, get a good look at your own heart). Go to Jesus. He is a professional at it. He is never shocked or appalled at your stuff. There is a freedom in "being the sinner" and accepting that He eternally lives to help you actualize the forgiveness He purchased. It is not negative, or pouty. It is the real source of joy. I find that He forgives far better than I can.
