@Ingwe I agree. It seems many want to keep doing what they want and then repent (forgive from themselves and ask forgiveness from the higher power) and all is well. It doesn’t work that way. And you’re absolutely correct!

I can never forgive myself for harming animals when I was young. I hate myself every day for it.

It will have to take a much higher power to absolve those sins. I just hope the animals forgive me
Coisty · 51-55, M
@Disney I hope you find it🤞
@Disney The animals don't even know. But God will forgive you, if you've asked. Guaranteed, and not only wipe that act away, but he remembers it no more. You don't need to carry that anymore.

It begins and ends with me, and me alone.

@DocSavage personal responsibility. Love it!!!!

That's what Jesus achieves when we believe Him and trust in the Atonement He secured by His death on the cross that paid the penalty for sins..
Coisty · 51-55, M
@Adstar for some yes. Not all people are Christian tho
Adstar · 56-60, M
@Coisty Thats why i included those critical words ""[b]When we believe Him and trust in the Atonement[/b]""" If everyone did that then Jesus would be paying for everyones sins..

@questionWeaver grace has many definitions and can be found and received in different ways also. It is not owned nor defined by religion.
@Coisty you need to check your meds
Coisty · 51-55, M
@questionWeaver I'll check those and you check your dictionary... deal?

Even though some may be a little more difficult to forgive myself for I do absolve myself for all, or maybe most, of my past F#ck ups.
If you can't forgive yourself who is going to??
Coisty · 51-55, M
@Dainbramadge exactly...and what does it matter if others forgive you if you can't forgive yourself right?
Dainbramadge · 56-60, M
@Coisty Right on!!!!
No...I wear them as part of my coat of many colours.
Coisty · 51-55, M
@OogieBoogie no problem 🍻
@Coisty hmmmm....this still has me stumped.

And actually contemplating it just gives me a tight feeling in my chest.

Either I don't understand what you mean correctly...or I can't seem to consolidate the two .

I've thought back to try and apply this to different events in my life - only to discover that even the few things I managed to fix...I still feel guilt about .

I wish I could understand what you mean ...but I can't wrap my head around it .
Coisty · 51-55, M
@OogieBoogie lol that's ok
Coisty · 51-55, M
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Good man yerself
Ladyred · 46-50, F
Your sins have been absolved for you, you merely need to believe it! And forgive yourself the guilt, not an event by the way, but a process! (;
Coisty · 51-55, M
@Ladyred totally agree with the process part and the forgive yourself part

Jesus Christ absolves us from our sins and cleanses us from all unrighteousness.
DocSavage · M
@GodSpeed63
So in other words, you feel free to lie constantly, because Jesus will cover for you. Is that it ?
Adstar · 56-60, M
@DocSavage Your accusation is a common one from people who charge that the forgiveness of the Atonement of the LORD Jesus is a license to sin.. There are even a lot of self identifying Christians who make the same accusations..

But to believe Jesus is to agree with His teachings as far as sin goes.. To have atonement one must believe they have done wrong and need to have their sins atoned for.. So people who believe that sins are wrong will not be using the Atonement as a license to sin.. They will naturally seek to avoid sinning as much as they can because they agree with God that sinning is bad..

@Adstar
I’ve dealt with Godspeed63 before. I’ve yet to see an honest post from him
DocSavage · M
No one else can do it.

@DocSavage

Unless you run into people who don’t give a shit about Jesus.
