I admit that.I forgive myself

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.

Dreams,I have previously stated to you in past posts how much I not only respect your perspectives on various issues but your CREATIVITY and original methods of elucidating your views.
Let me state for the record that:
1.I believe in God and pray and honor Him daily
2.I believe Jesus is the divine son of God and honor and revere Him as well(what would Jesus do)
3.Am TRYING to live a life that is reflective of Christian values at the price of having to remove myself mentally and culturally from the wickedness of this world.Well worth that "sacrifice"by the way.
4.See myself as an integral part of God's love and redemption of my soul here on Earth and ready to come home to Him when He calls.
Yes,I forgive myself but not just to go sin again.I go through many hours of intense self-examination and communion with God before I get to that point.
And then the next day I do it all over again,getting more in synch with Him each time I pick myself up from a fall.
