My note was to someone who represents themselves as a Christian, not to you. Apparently you believe your "explanation" is enough to clarify Robin's representations.
While these may be comfort to his former "students" this is not relevant to his misdeeds. Helping others without regard to himself would be the way of that very Lord whom he proclaims for himself. It doesn't matter what you or I think. It is for Robin to assay and give to others the grace he has received. Confession is the return to the gift of Baptism and an acknowledgement that what we are is the gift to "be at all" ... without a claim of being justified. Robin already knows this. It is up to him to live it ... which indeed he has the grace to do. --- In [email protected], "authfriend" <authfriend@...> wrote: > > --- In [email protected], "emptybill" emptybill@ wrote: > <snip> > > You do not have the slightest concept or remorse for your delusive > > grandiosity. > > "I did terrible things, which I regret.
