sins

Whoever confesses his sins, shall obtain the mercy of God's grace.

I marvel at the placidity of the Utopian who imagines that man is perfectible. There is no denying that the human creature is born selfish, abusive, vile. Just look around you and see. Society cynical and ferocious, the humble heckled and pillaged by the rich traffickers in necessities. Everywhere the triumph of the mediocre and unscrupulous, everywhere the apotheosis of crooked politics and finance. And you think you can make any progress against a stream like that? No, man has never changed. His soul was corrupt in the days of Genesis and is not less rotten at present. Only the form of his sins varies. Progress is the hypocrisy which refines the vices.

All sins are forgiven once you start making a lot of money.

You know what politique is? It is the French word for a lie. Kdoub! Politique! When you hear the French say: our politique, you know they mean: our lies. And when you hear the Moslems, the Friends of Independence, say: our politique, you know they mean: our lies. All lies are sins. And so, which displeases Allah more, a lie told by a Nazarene, who doesn__ know the true faith from the false, or a lie told by a Moslem, who does?

Anger, envy and pride,_ I ticked them off on my fingers. __ don__ often have much use for them. It__ a shortcoming that I__ hoping to correct in the next millennium or two. I__ not very old; I can__ be expected to have mastered them all yet.___ think you__e worked too hard on some of those,_ he said dryly. __aybe you should switch over to virtues instead. Give yourself a much needed break.__irtues? Yeah, right.__irtues are too difficult,_ I told him, shaking my head. __ook how old you are and you__e hardly made a dent in them. I__l admit, you seem to have zeal nailed, as well as faith and temperance. Self control? I__e got my doubts based on your recent actions. I__ not seeing the kindness, love or generosity, either. That humility thing seems to be pretty far beyond your reach, too. Really, really far. I__ sorry to tell you this, but from what I can see, the sin of pride is a major component of your character. Dude, you__e f**king old. You should have these things pretty well ticked off your shopping list by now. I__ seriously disappointed. Seriously.

And she didn't once say anything about this being a sin. It used to be I got the word sin slapped in my face every time I did something wrong, but come on, when you live in a sin-free family with sin-free parents and a sin-free sister, well, you can't help but sin a little extra on their behalf.

The principle that certain sins should not receive the Church's testimony of forgiveness was probably no novelty at all, but had been applied in various churches; perhaps, however, with no strict consistency.

Sins cannot be undone, only forgiven.

We are not forgiven because we are good. We are forgiven because Christ bore our sins.
