Good grief. I don't know how much stronger I can get without getting slapped down by the RM or criticized by other Catholics for being *unloving* or *unChristlike*.
I'm not mild about it. I never have made it of no account or that it's insignificant.
Nevertheless, ANYONE can have the assurance that if they simply repent and ask, God will forgive them and give them eternal life. It's all based on HIS integrity and faithfulness, not on mine.
If someone thinks that being confident of the promises of God based on His character and integrity is arrogance, then they are the ones with the problem, not me. They can have the same confidence because it's based on God's faithfulness, not mine or yours, or any other human being's.
Do not confuse me with others I have more respect for you then you proably know.
The Lord sees the inside better than us that's for sure. I do not judge. I know you care. We can have different views on Christ as long as we can declare 1John 4 we declare The Holy Spirit within us.
I trust in Jesus to overcome this world for me. But where we differ is this process. You declare you see it now in a special way. I certainly do not see that confession is wrong in my belief of Christ. I am not talking catholic either just any confession. I see 1john1 . When John puts down do not be deceived in this writing. I see an alarm going off as a warning in this writing.
Freeper Cheers!
