Every day. No one is made holy but by faith. The Bible is full of holy people, full of unholy people.

What is your point? We are free agents. We choose our faith in God, we pray and repent. We are not holy, we are made holy. But, we have to choose.

I am not a good man. People that tell me they are “basically good people” make me want to run away clutching my children and wallet.

Paul declared what a wretched man he was and he wrote most of the New Testament. He prayed release me from this body of death.

I am afraid of people who say they are good. I want to see people do good and know that their goodness is in faith and humility and in the sure hope they have in Jesus Christ—not their “goodness”.

I love you. May God Bless you. I pray to be not proud but to always look to my Savior for redemption. Alone I am already dead.

I do thank you for the "I love you" and the "God bless you." I gratefully return such kindly sentiments.

But please refrain from putting down other people's Christian Faith when your actual knowledge about it is quite mistaken.

Like the song says, "Don't criticize what you can't understand."

And I will try to heed my own advice, knowing well my own limitations.
