If we see ourselves as sinners (damned by our thoughts, words and deeds) we
will go to church to hear the Gospel Word and to be gifted the forgiveness of
sins in Christ. However, if we reject original sin and see ourselves as morally
neutral, we will go to church to be encouraged in our pursuit of being more
moral. In the first scenario, the churchman goes to church hungry knowing that
he will receive free warm bread. In the second scenario, the churchman goes to
church denying both his need of the free bread and the gift of the free bread,
yet wanting recipes and pointers on how to make the warm bread himself.
