Now that is out of our way....I appreciate all the scripture you gave in your first rebuttle of my post. The only point I was trying to make was that grace and mercy are given unconditionally. That was where I was trying to get with my post. Sorry I pointed my finger at you. That was not my intention. AGAIN, I was trying to use an example to prove my point in the argument. You did not bring up the standards thing, I did and as I was typing on this thread I was thinking of another thread and merged the two seperate responses into one. AGAIN I am sorry. I hope you can understand that...I MADE A MISTAKE. Is all forgiven and better now???? I sure hope so....

If you make yourself a cat of nine tails made from chains and attach a spiked metal ball to the end of each chain, and then proceed to flog yourself for 40 days, that may be a more acceptable apology to her and she may at that point consider forgiving you.
