Darrin,
I must commend you on your mastery using the english language in such a "poetic manner" as Alan says, in all your posts.
You finally, in all of that, said that you believe in you. You hang your own self on your own cross and accept yourself and hidy ho off we go.
I am here to tell you, if that is what you believe, fine, I sure cannot stop you. But don't rewrite every post I have "telling" me what I really believe. I stand with the knowledge that He is able to make me stand.
I know in Whom I believe, and that He is able .
2 Tim 1: 8 So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, or ashamed of me his prisoner. But join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God, 9 who has saved us and called us to a holy life--not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, 10 but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. 11 And of this gospel I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher. 12 That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day. 13 What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus. 14 Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you--guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.
