One writer has even suggested that guilt in some way is involved in all psychological problems. Before I go further there are some clarifications I need make when talking about guilt. First, we need to see the difference between objective and subjective guilt. Objective guilt is when you have done something wrong. . . . You have broken a law, hurt somebody, you have done what God told you not to do or not done what He told you to do.
Objective guilt is a verdict.
Subjective guilt is when you feel guilty. Now it is possible to have objective guilt without subjective guilt, and visa versa. You can be guilty of doing something wrong and not feel any sense of remorse or guilt. We have read stories of those who commit a horrific crime but show absolutely no signs of remorse. You can also feel subjective guilt without objective guilt.
