Ah, we're not too bad- and sin is such a confrontational word! You'll scare people off preaching nasty stuff like that! If we start going off on all this holiness stuff, who knows where it might lead. You have to understand all those exortations to repentance and holiness in the New Testament as a product of the times- they're not really applicable now-a-days. Paul and all those guys didn't have cool techniques to bring in the numbers like we have now, so he had to get people's attention some how. I doubt having people act all good and holy was really all that effective anyway.

Men HATE the Light..they curse it..they definately hate it when the light exposes them for what they really are..(that is a truth I see even here even today)The words of Jesus are eternal..
