  1. Undermines the righteousness of faith, the central pillar of “the faith” which is the central tenet of “the gospel“ – all based on an erroneous interpretation of one loan scripture – 1Jn. 1:9 for which the Westminster’s’ created the doctrine of familial/ parental forgiveness. The Father removed his countenance from Jesus on the cross when Jesus became our sin and cried “my God, my God why has thou forsaken me? – and therefore God will not punish us for/with what he already punished Jesus for/ with – because God is Holy.The apostle Paul wrote 2/3 of the New Testament and never mentions the need for confession to be forgiven or to be cleaned from unrighteousness. Godly sorrow and confession yes but not to be forgiven -because we are forgiven and possess eternal righteousness through Christ and his finished work.

  5. This time with Dr. Sproul utterly broke my heart—seeing his physical distress, pondering his humility before God and a lifetime of devotion to Him and then personally, his wonderful ability to help me encounter God’s Word and His Presence without being consumed by the guilt I have apart from my Lord Jesus.

  6. Apostle Paul says if we believe that Jesus died & rose again, which I do. Paul said I am crucified with Christ to show the importance of our life. He also said those things which are behind me I forget, & press toward the mark set before me. I don't know what (really remorse is), might be different for each of us. Paul also told the jailor belief in the Lord Jesus Christ & you will be saved. Jesus nailed the law to his cross that was against us. He preaches the cross for the power of God. I did fear Hellfire; I also knew I was lost by my lifestyle which I no longer live. but really remorse???? I will never understand the steps; if any difference from the thief on the cross. All I know I was lost & now I'm found.

  7. Why does James say to confess your sins to one another and not directly to God (James 5:16)? Also, why did Jesus say to the Apostles "whatever sins you forgive them, they are forgiven. Whatever sins you retain, they are retained" (John 20:23). That seems like clear evidence that we ought to confess our sins to our christian brethren. What are your thoughts?

  8. Thank you HOLY SPIRIT for conviction, comfort, & counseling so that I may remain in the grace of GOD & keeping repentance so that I may bare fruit…Thank you FATHER for enabling me & providing for me the pathway to always seek your forgiveness & obtain through CHRIST when I have fallen short of adhering to your decrees….

  9. Dr. R.C. Sproul once taught on the awesome holiness of God and His sovereignty. My life was changed. When we realize just how guilty we are and His great condescension we will feel a godly sorrow. He's right that our sin is against a righteous God, but we also hurt other people as well deeply and even if it's not required it helps for the sake of unity and to help heal broken hearts to as least say I'm sorry you were hurt. If not it's like what was done was no "biggie." I repent with godly sorrow and I feel better when we talk it out.. Today they are trying to tell Black people that there's no racism in America when young men of color are being gunned down on a daily basis. Our voting rights are being restricted and even the right to march in protests like MLK, Jr taught us to do, people are trying to pass laws so they can I believe control protests, not riots. Yet, the White churches are talking about the rapture. They are not acting like Jesus, and speaking up for the oppressed. Not a word..the Lord is very much concerned with racism in the body of Christ. We pray and talk to Him about it often because, He's our God too! Glory!

  13. RC has taught so many people The LOVE of God! This short clip REALLY helped me indeed! Thank You Jesus for The Holy Spirit's work of making Your Bride into what YOU would have Her be! All of my attributes fall woefully short of being ''righteous'' in Your eyes! ALL GLORY goes to The KING of kings, and LORD of lords!

  14. feeling the full weight of ours sins would crush anyone of us and yet Jesus had taken the weight of the sin of the world upon His shoulders carrying the Cross to calvary: "…pick up your cross and fellow me"
