Conviction on the Waterfront

Mark Spence and Tony "The Lawman" Miano found this young man on the waterfront, in Long Beach (CA), during Ambassadors' Academy #1. He was staring into the water when Tony approached him and asked him for an interview.

Initially, the young man declined. But several minutes later, he ran up to Mark and Tony, saying that he had changed his mind and wanted to talk.

Praise Jesus! Can't wait to meet you Juan, my brother in Christ.  What a beautiful story the gospel is. I never tire of hearing it. God bless you all.

WOW, Talk about a manipulation of SHAME.

[roccobaroccoSC]

This is childish.

@darrensteveben so what you are saying then is that we dont need to forgive one another? if we dont forgive one another then we must demand justice in some form of punishment, if you are convicted of a crime and stand before a judge and say to the judge its ok you dont need to punish me i have forgiven myself do you see what you are saying? any honest judge will carry out the punishment you deserve, you have to get passedyour predudices and listen carefully to what is being said

@IANC4EVER so what you are saying is that you cant change the way you think?

@123abcdmj

Yup they all came from Juan.. Sincere as sincere is. He's ashamed of himself... Just as many people are for digression.  No one escapes without screwing up. I guess the real question is whether you need someone to forgive you or do you forgive yourself. I don't believe in vicarious redemption. I believe in complete accountability. Religion= lack of personal accountability. That's the core of it's flaw (in my opinion). Toxic shame is where it gets it's power. So sad.

@darrensteveben: this is beyond manipulation, all the responses came from Juan. he was sincere in His answers.he spoke the truth. you can never argue with the truth, it's standard. The love of God is real, He waits for to embrace it....
