And if the 10s of thousands of schisms didn't neuter the faith enough, then you get Christians deciding for themselves which Bible verses they would comport to and which ones they would not as they were seen as inconvenient.


IOWs, modern era Christianity has no 'there' there.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
