I'm not sure I've met a Christian that apologizes for his sins before they happen (i.e. I'm sorry I'm going to blaspheme tomorrow. I'm sorry I'm going to rob an old lady tomorrow). I think you're supposed to recognize that sin is wrong, and not do it.

I'd disagree with you on this -- I rarely sin "by accident" myself. I think that sin requires mens rea like any other crime.

However, that's immaterial. A christian who sins willfully still sins. He will still be forgiven if he repents.

Yes, and I consider it a sin not to grant this boy's wish.
