Re: [asa] On telling the truth about science

Unless you hold to a warped view of Perfectionism, which Wesley did not,
then you will hold that all Christians do sin and at times badly. If they
commit adultery , fraud, kids porn etc it is not surprising that they lie at
times. Or should I say we. And of course all the other sins which afflict
us.

Perhaps another reason why some come out with terminological inexactitudes
on science (expression by an Anglo-American - Churchill in Parliament when
he had to retract a charge of lying ), is that we may hold our beliefs etc
with Pride in the sinful way and thus reject any criticism.

This is why I consider that a period of confession is essential in almost
every act of Christian worship.

Perhaps some churches kept quiet over childabuse by clergy for teambuilding
strategy? Also over adultery

Not all will want to grasp this
