What Christ did was "once for all," i.e. one time for the whole world. But, our repentance is not done once for all sins past and future. Sinless Perfection is a heresy. - I John 1:8-10.Fr.

I can now see a greater understanding of the law, however I still do not understand why we must confess (as in absolution in the Book of Prayer) before every Eucharist if Christ has paid for all my sin once for all. I believe 1 John 1:9 is advising (as does Romans 1) that we have to admit we are sinners before properly understanding Christ, but should this not only take place once and not over and over again as our identity is now in Christ? It seems this would bring an unsure state of sin consciousness? I hope that I do not sound disrespectful in any way. I thank you for all you labors in the Lord and for any insight you could provide. An abundance of God’s grace, rest, and peace to you and yours.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18902745.post-23420171568328974692011-02-23T23:57:35.151-05:002011-02-23T23:57:35.151-05:00I think the lack of comments must be because this ...I think the lack of comments must be because this is almost <i>too</i> good.
