Well, if a person senses he has fallen into sin, which the Spirit convicts him about pretty quickly, he has to repent. Not just say, "I'm sorry, won't do it again," but really, in his heart, commit to overcome it. It's unrepented sin that gets us into trouble. Early on in our Christian walk, it's rather easy to fall flat on our face into the same sins. Christ is patient to forgive so long as we truly repent, and don't just go through the motions as if to justify their sinfulness. >> Compare Christ's treatment of women to, say, Mohammed's treatment of >> them -- or their treatment little children for that matter.

Scripture testifies of Him, but nothing beats getting to know Him, as it were, personally. He doesn't live in a book but in hearts that open up to his love. - Publius -- "It ought never to be forgotten, that a firm union of this country, under an efficient government, will probably be an increasing object of jealousy to more than one nation of Europe; and that enterprises to subvert it will sometimes originate in the intrigues of foreign powers, and will seldom fail to be patronized and abetted by some of them. Its preservation, therefore ought in no case that can be avoided, to be committed to the guardianship of any but those whose situation will uniformly beget an immediate interest in the faithful and vigilant performance of the trust."
