Ok. In your mind repentance and sin are a done deal in the past and we
are striding onwards to the glories of the future with spiritual authority.
Odd thing is I do not see the pure, holy, mature Church striding anywhere.
I see a doctrinally compromised, hypocritical movement claiming something
which is not true, while not even managing to live the basics of the christian
life. And when the leaders fall into obvious sin and failure, they are forgiven
and given opportunities to return to this dream land.
So I see your world and the world God sees. They are very different places.
