       I believe guilt to be a serious problem, and a lot of it is tied to the doctrine of the total depravity of mankind. So what happens is that because people believe they are totally depraved, they think that living in freedom (the Law of Liberty) is impossible in their lives. Since they think it is impossible, life just becomes like a series of football games and the team playing is bad. There are mostly losses because of what the team believes about themselves and their ability. As self-confidence and motivation have been declared sin, there is no way the person can move higher up the ladder, achieve more wins. They are stuck going season after season with the same losing record. Growth doesn’t really happen. They may learn one silly, minuscule fact and then repeat that as a grand esoteric truth that they learned, but really it is small in the whole scheme of things. As the Apostle Paul said, guilt has to be relinquished. It’s just not part of a healthy psychology.
