- Of course he will understand the choices you made. You may believe that
- they are right but if in fact they are wrong it does not change the fact that
- you sined even if you felt that you were in the right. I could go out
- and shoot someone and feel that I was perfectly right to do so that does
- not make it right.If you do something wrong and refuse to admit it or
- you do something wrong and refuse to admit its wrong they are the same thing
- its up to God to decide what is wrong.
-
- He was saying just think about where you will end up before you do it. I am
- saying that even if you have goofed you can always admit you're wrong and
- seek forgiveness but if you don't think your wrong you won't seek it will
- you.
-
- The fact is you can't be damned anyway because God will forgive you if
- you ask.
