Metalman, I do not tempt our Lord, but simply ask if what I am doing is right.

1 john 1:9 - "If we confess our sins, He [God] is faithful and just, to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all iniquity." St. John is very plain. He says it flat out.

I hope that covers it and if not I'll awnser more tommorow. And if it helps you I'm not in Iraq anymore, I've been re-stationed in GA. I'm now with the 29th Infantry Regement.
