Guilt

How does a relativist deal with the guilt problem? Loosen up, you decide what is right and wrong, don't be so hard on yourself. Why should you conform to those standards if they only make you feel guilty.
How does the religionist deal with the guilt problem? Tighten up, you need to repent of your guilt feelings. The only problem is that now we feel guilty for feeling guilty.
How does the Gospel deal with the guilt problem? Yes you are guilty but your guilt has been covered by the blood of Christ. He took our sins, he bore our guilt. When you feel guilty we just have to look to the cross and know that the there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
A person may say that God cannot forgive them. Their god may not forgive them as idols cannot forgive only the God of the Gospel can and has forgiven.
