Paul S,<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>Habit does not excuse us from the sins committed through it, but rather makes us more guilty by showing how often we must have committed the sin to acquire the habit. If, however, we are seriously trying to overcome a bad habit, and through forgetfulness yield to it, the habit may sometimes excuse us from the sin.<p><hr></blockquote><p><br>What are your intentions here? If habitually doing something makes you more guilty then you are guilty of making sense. Because you keep on making sense Paul. Is that what you are intenting to do? <br><br>However the Baltimore Catechism seems to provide a nice loop hole in theology here. If you forget and just out of habit keep on beating your wife you might be excused on the basis that you did it without intending to. Surely that's forgiveable! That may be one of the reasons why Roman Catholicism is so popular. It certainly provides a lot of loop holes and entitlements for the follower of Rome.<br><br>Wes <br><br>
