Yes, we do. I do accept it but, in honesty I have a hard time living a forgiven life. To me it is very difficult.
I was an ordained minister. I went to school to be a minister and after 15 years I am very disalusioned with the whole thing.

I know we shouldn't look at other people and such but, I have had many of my good believing friends drop out that I begin to question wheather I am progressing or, am I just having unrealistic expectations.

I have had 3 close associates just give up and the valadictorian of my class ended his life a few years ago.

I have sat in so many minister meetings and listened to the
man made ideas of what salvation is that it made me just want to forget it all. The carnal thinking was sickening.

Now, i'm not turning my back on the Lord, I am just having great difficulty trying to stay saved. I spend many days not even thinking about religion and go through many dark periods of great doubt. That is why I plead to God, Help now my unbelief.
