True. I'm asking about the Christian, though. Let's say she advises you on how to be closer to that truth. She should be following a similar course of action, right? Morally walking the walk?

@lovegentle: applying the standard, I really like that wording. It gives the truth integrity

That almost says anything is fine, as long as you apologize the next day.

@Robinsinwinter: Unfortunately, many so-called Christians see it that way - which is why I include "genuine" before repentance. We can't measure up to Jesus, but we should always try to, IMHO. 😊

Agreed. Thank you.
