And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: (2) And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.   Peace be with you. David Miller.   David,   I feel like I’m trying to pin down jello here. J Why do you not consider these sins as “intentional”? Could you try to define your definition again for me? I think most sins are intentional, because if we had just tried harder, or had more faith, or stopped and counted to ten, we could have avoided them.   And even if they were intentional, isn’t that what repentance is about? What is the point of repenting of our sins (even intentional ones) if we cannot be forgiven? Doesn’t Jesus forgive “seven times seven” if He expects us to? Please help me see your point of view here,   Izzy   ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."  (Colossians 4:6) http://www.InnGlory.org   If you do not want to receive posts from this list, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and you will be unsubscribed.  If you have a friend who wants to join, tell him to send an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and he will be subscribed.
