>>It would be a good start and make up for his ill advised admission that he has never asked God for forgiveness.
The actual words he used are a Presbyterian/Reformed theology thing. It doesn’t mean what you think it means. We repent, but understand that our past, present, and future sins are forgiven and forgotten by God. You don’t ask for something that has already been given to you.
Even Presbyterian/Reformed theology has this in their Bibles:
I John 1:5-10
This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.
