Well, yes I am and I would appreciate it if you would not remind me of the fact by your comments.

RE: Sin hard. Enjoy!

"If you are a preacher of mercy, do not preach an imaginary but the true mercy. If the mercy is true, you must therefore bear the true, not an imaginary sin. God does not save those who are only imaginary sinners. Be a sinner, and let your sins be strong, but let your trust in Christ be stronger, and rejoice in Christ who is the victor over sin, death, and the world. We will commit sins while we are here, for this life is not a place where justice resides... No sin can separate us from Him, even if we were to kill or commit adultery thousands of times each day. Do you think such an exalted Lamb paid merely a small price with a meager sacrifice for our sins? Pray hard for you are quite a sinner."-- Let Your Sins Be Strong: A Letter From Luther to Melanchthon Letter no. 99, 1 August 1521

That's funny. I sure can spot things like that and masons and the like. My neighbor is a mensa, ultraliberal, Unitarian and I'm sure she'd call herself a Christian too. But she denies that anyone had to die for anyones sins.
