Thanks gentlemen. You have been a help in a dark time. I hope to get back specifically to the points raised over the coming weekend. To summarize, your words have been a rare comfort; a voice upon a grey barren plain that offers succour. At the very least, there is advice. I figure my main theological issue comes from the notion that repentance is only true with meaning; and that faith without works, or active effort is as sounding brass.
Thanks chaps, pre-emptively. I'll address matters further.
May God bless you all,
Chappy
