While I'm fairly confident you did not intend your words in this manner, I'd like to raise an issue.

I have a bone to pick with usage of the phrase "accept Christ". When you "accept" someone, the connotation is one of putting up with or tolerating. Jesus Christ is begotten of the Father before all worlds. He is Almighty God.

That he accepts us in our wretchedness and misery - that, my FRiend, is truly a marvel.
