This builds on the same theme. Of course, the Eucharist is "available" to me, physically. Yet, I have no honest leading, that I perceive, from the Lord to partake appropriately

And how do you know it is not YOU and not the Lord who is leading in that perception? Adam certainly thought it was God Who set him up with Eve.

What they did was their act of wilful disobedience. We know when we commit sin. We know what is morally wrong because we are all Christians. We can't claim "invincible ignorance," FK.

You can't be a Christian and commit adultery and say "I didn't know..."

I know because I know that the Lord knows EXACTLY which buttons to press (in me) in order to get me to do something. He has done it many times. I know what it feels like. It always works. :) I have not gotten anything like that here.

Actually, I've never felt a desire to make a claim for Invincible Ignorance. Help me Joe, but wouldn't anyone actively wanting to assert it, be automatically disqualified? :) That's kind of funny.
