>>>Gregor, I believe the process starts not with forgiveness, but with acceptance of responsibility. <<<

I'm really sticking my neck out here and could get it chopped off but I feel it is relevant to this cause.

"it starts with realizing that we can not create our own morality. It starts with realizing that we are not our own individual points of reference. It starts with realizing that the sincerity of our resolve to do good is far out weighed by the inherant weakness of the flesh. It starts by realizing that ones weaknesses must first be addressed before building ones strength can begin" If all this is accepting personal responsibility then Amen.( I might add to a Christian living in victory I believe that the indwelling Holy Spirit is the ONLY way we can attain true conversion and true victory.)Anything else is a whitewash.Or it might be a beautiful alabaster box ordained with precious jewels but the interior will still be the same ;;dead bones.
