Two questions: 1. Did you actually read all the way to the end of the article? The reason I posted it is that he explicitly draws a line between the kind of forgiveness we show “repentant” and “unrepentant” sinners, which I thought addresses your concern. If not, I’d like to hear where it falls short. 2. Do you think Jesus forgives you? Or is that not part of your theology?
