Another example of egalitarianism. No one is more righteous or more wicked than anyone else, except Christ. We're all the same. It is a theological communism akin to Animal Farm.
-A8
And yet you imagine God keeps score of our transgressions and tallies them up at the end of our lives to see which men have made the cut. And that's why it's important to be absolved on earth of as many sins as possible; to confess every wrong; to swallow every wafer; to count every bead.
Ultimately, it must be a terrible strain, adding and subtracting the good you do from the debt you owe.
Relax, A8. You can never redeem yourself. Neither you nor me nor Mary could be good enough for heaven. Only Christ's goodness has saved us. Christ has grabbed the check and paid for your sins, every one of them.
Rejoice.
She needed as savior as much as you and I.
