Sometimes this is what such preachers are aiming for, but overshoot the mark, shall we say. Because of course repentance and conversion is necessary. I think our best bet is to be deeply concerned for our own repentance and conversion of heart (ongoing), so we can have the grace and wisdom within us to present the full Gospel picture to everyone.Fr.

Basically the message was that we should not commit adultery but even looking with lust is as sinful so we have all sinned but Jesus has wiped that all away so we need not concern ourselves at all. The next day your blog was talking about the throwing of the pearls of truth before swine so I'm trying to just ignore the hopeless feeling I get when I think of all those who listen to that preacher , pat themselves on the back and say " I'm glad I'm a christian my sins are covered.theresanoreply@blogger.com
