do you understand the part where they don't sin?

To deny one's own sin or propensity there towards is to deny truth. Even holding a theological position of somehow being 'perfect' in Christ (per Paul's gospel) does not discount or deny the frailty and imperfection of human nature, neither the subtle illusions of the ego.

catholics can't get it, praise God i saw the truth through MAD (Paul's epistles) and stopped thinking like a catholic, like a sinner that refuses the free gift of salvation while trying to confess to a man in a dress -

I'd assume some catholic and orthodox believers have a good grasp on some Christian essentials, as some protestants might, and that may vary. Paul's epistles asides,...most all these groups take the bible and their own tradition in tandem, so interpretations may vary.

Confession of sins is good on any level whether you're confessing to God or a human person,...its all under the same mediation of 'God' whatever vessels are being used in the process.

Somehow this has nothing to do with reps :)

Sorry, it's just that Yeshua sided with the minority and Meshak's point was that the majority is not typically moral or correct, at least from a Christian perspective. And, it's only by majority immorality that we believe there is such a thing as necessary evil when, from the Christian perspective, there really is no such thing.

But minorities aren't either, except for the one, from a Christian perspective. So it's a little misleading or wrong headed when you think about her point.

Didn't Yeshua come for all sinners?
It seems to me, that Meshak's point regarding necessary evil was a good one when one considers that evil is rebellion against God.

The assumption that started with "from your viewpoint".

I'm sorry, you've stated before that you are not a Christian so I didn't think it was an assumption. As an aside, I do have to ask that if you find Christian reasoning justifiable, how is it you aren't a Christian?
