"Mythologies of false gods have done less damage in the world than the mythology that people who know of the true God are somehow separated from Him based on their behavior. Sin won't keep God away from you, but shame will keep you trying to hide from God.

"The cross was not a legal loophole God the Father needed, like some accountant, to get your 'sin problem' off the books. The cross was God's way of dealing with your shame problem, so nothing would hold you back from Him. There was NEVER anything holding Him back from you."

Interesting perspective, worth thinking about, though Fred the accountant vampire might resent the slur, and Aslan might murmer about it being a matter of *deep* knowledge rather than a loophole. :-)

The root of every addiction is shame, not naughtiness.

Ah, I was wondering if that was where this was going. *thumbs up icon here*
