Quote from Spiker:
One would have thought you'd advise the dad to seek whatever comfort he might find in prayer , Jem.
Life is not binary-- sinner or saint. That is why we need redemption outside of ourselves.
I don't think about God and turn into St. Francis but I do hope to take small steps in God's direction over time.
Finally, do you really think that Dad needs to repent?
I see the arguments for both sides.
Only God should judge him.
And I will be God lets people judge themselves.
