Would you know all my sin?

I don't know? It was not a direct statement of your character-just a general statement-more about myself.
Understandable. I saw it as you referring to me in a round about way.
Pride is a fickle thing, if you can maintain a 'teachable spirit' it is not judgement if it is the truth. 'Judgement' would be a condemnation-have I ever condemned you my friend?
We all struggle with pride, it is the opposite of Christ: humility.
Short of me killing another human, I have done almost every sin imaginable. Hence, why I have struggled with the idea of salvation (for me). Hence, why I beat myself up and feel that God does not love me or is ashamed of me.
Ahhh...internet forums lack the luster of face to face communication-sometimes for the good-sometimes for the bad.
I guess I have at least a 'one up' on you....
Have you heard of the "Romans Road"?
Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt be
lieve in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Yes, I've read this quite a few times...thank you. Never thought to use it before~
