I really should add something more though. You say that *the* Christianity (which, like it or not IS based upon the teachings of Jesus) sometimes get's the real message of the 'good news' wrong. And one of those messages is indeed that we are acceptable to God exactly as we are. I couldn't agree more on that score Nick. But if such is the case, then what is the point of reconciliation? And as Jon Bon Jovi once sang - "If there's nothing but survival, how can I believe in sin?"
*Shouldn't be there - 'THE'
-Travis "doing my own version of a spell check" Edmunds
(even though an extra 'the' wouldn't show up on a spell check...)
