Bible Question (short): I'm Confused! |
Question (full): The first (Luke 18:10-14) tells me to pray humbly, the second tells me that Christ. the sinless one, speaks in my defense. But none of these really answers my question. I was raised to believe that if I sin, I should ask forgiveness - each time - even if I've committed it before. Now I'm being told I should not do this. If I ask forgiveness each time, am I making my Heavenly Father angry? There doesn't seem to be anything that pinpoints this subject and I don't want it to be a "whatever floats your boat" decision. For the first time in a long time I am very confused about the Word! |
