[A girl had blogged about how she couldn't stand believing that only those who believed in Jesus would be spared eternal damnation. She said "I can’t comprehend it. If I had a son or daughter, even if they chose not to acknowledge me, but proceeded to live a moral life and made mistakes, I would still take them back with open arms when they came to me." The following was found in the comments section of the post.]

And the fact that you, or I, would take back a sinful child without them being righteous shows that we are in violation of God's law and word in Proverbs 17:15, we are an abomination. We are just as sinful as they. That is why true forgiveness must come from the cross.
