that’s a real tough one if a person is honest. I wonder how many real Christians can handle that verse.

Easy to say; harder to live in. None of us can be worthy without His sacrifice. He makes us worthy despite our human failings that continue on even after He has removed our sins.

Scripture isn't a cudgel - it's a love story. Yet, we (many of us and I'm not innocent) seem to have an affinity for using it as a club instead of as a loving tool and source of guidance.
