<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Bonnie... look at the thief on the cross next to
Jesus, he admitted he was being punished for his wrong doing, (confession) then
asked Jesus to remember him when he came into his kingdom, (a statement of
faith) </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Jesus replies..."I tell you the truth today
you will be with me in paradise." It sounds like pretty quick
forgiveness</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>to me. God is the "perfect parent" and I
believe he accepts us when we are truly sorry for our wrongs. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I don't think he puts us on hold, although,
there are natural consequences that we some times face. Like
jail,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>or a ticket for breaking the rules of the
road. A truly sorry person will work on changing his
behavior.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>My husband father is in Jail and he has been ther for about eight years
and has 8-10 years to go. If you think god forgives, well in due time, I think
he does. Not right after you just say your sorry. If thats the case we would
ALL have wonderful relationships with our parents if an "I'm sorry" is all it
takes. I think you have to be sorry and ACT sorry. Just like a child to a
parent. Otherwise...what have you learned?</DIV>
