Regardless of whether my number is ever called on what must be a very long list of people who haven't yet received the necessary revelations....I don't think that blurting out scripture or thumping the bible serves anyone very well - not even your god. I'd say that you've done a much better job here than any bum standing on a soapbox with a megaphone could have done. Am I changed? Have I seen the light? No, of course not - but that's because my objection is one that cuts to a fundamental and immutable doctrine of your faith. You cannot disavow it, you cannot tell me that it's something that it's not. I'd be willing to hazard the guess that we both knew this going into it.
Well... I've enjoyed talking with you! It's nice to engage in a conversation w/o all the name calling and stereotyping. No matter what our association is, we are still people with mostly the same feelings and love for our families.
You've actually inspired me to new heights of explanation of the spirit! But as I said, I'm trying to temper it with actual doctrine. I would never want to be caught in that quandary between uncertainty and fact, just trying to put "gut feelings" into words...so if I have a guilty moment I might run back and change something on you! LOL!
But anyway, I just want you to know that my faith in Jesus has been a plus in my life, and those around me. I just can't or won't deny it! And I do pray for you, and the others (always) that somehow God will reveal Himself, and work for good in all your lives! Ron
