The differences are slight.

I commented because of my concern that you were burdened by past sins there is no record of. God doesn’t keep a record. Why should you?

When you received God, you were born again and your past disappeared.

Are you saying that when you sin it causes you no remorse because Jesus bears all sin for you? Your conscience doesn’t sting a little when you sin against God and man?

All that I was saying was that when I realized the enormity of his sacrifice for someone as unworthy as I was, it caused me to cry. My sins were many (I only came to know Him when I was 46) and many of them included the murder of my unborn children. So yes, my sorrow was great. Some believe that I should not be convicted of my past sins and I say, live the way I did and find out you are forgiven everything regardless of the nature of the sin, and see if your conscience doesn’t convict you from time to time. God says he’s forgotten my sins but I am a mere human being and it’s hard to forget what I’ve done.

I know that I’m forgiven and I trust in Jesus’ willingness to be the complete sacrifice for my sins. There is no argument in that issue between us. I will one day have total peace about my past. Of that I have assurance from God.
