I get where you’re coming from but I think the Christian message is that Christ transforms me and gives me new life able to do what I couldn’t before (like forgive someone). When I understand how much he forgave me, that forgives is available to others without a long process or progression of work I must do to get there. The only cross I must pick up is Christ’s and he says his yoke is light. If the yoke is heavy, I’m carrying a burden that isn’t mine to carry. I pray for everyone with bad earthly parents that their parents bad example is not a hindrance to the comport and peace available in simply knowing a perfect Heavenly Father.

It let's you do things you couldn't, like overcome sin and forgive/call to repentance sinners.
