Quote:So even though I make a fool of myself regularly and dishonor Him occasionally and know I am deserving of the great eternal “write-off” (hell) I also know Jesus stands eternally ready to intercede for me (Romans 8:34) and that forgiveness and cleansing await a truly repentant mind and soul (1 John 1:9).
I bolded where he said he deserved hell. That is a very extreme, truly troubling thing to believe. The idea of people thinking so lowly of themselves and buying into this concept of worthlessness is disturbing. I especially detest this line of thinking being taught to children not old enough to know better.
