James, It is not that I want anyone to "come down on my side" . All I ever wanted BV to realize is that HE cannot bind on me what his tradition and method of considering the Sabbath says to him. I did that by showing that even his way was not what was orig. prescribed,modern convenience notwithstanding. I am NOT teaching against Sabbath, only that BV must allow me to stand before the Lord and not him. I believe the Lord will show me. If you and I have to have to be a card totin, member of a Church with regulations, traditiuons and creeds, I'm afraid we are not going to make it. But we have no worry, because the Church of Christ is not a building, but God's very own Spiritual Church of which we all belong to. You said a ton here....and I have admitted in the past and even continue to admit that even I "kick" against that from time to time, but the church was bought at such a high price....price paid in the very blood of Jesus. No matter who says that any other "religion" is the fastest growing, no matter who says work work work, no matter.... the Bride of Christ will survive just as God plans(ed) it. God bless. dan

Santiago, And on and on it goes in the Sudan. Please all say a prayer for the African Christians who suffer continually and greatly at the hands of the Islamist regime.... News Article by REUTERS on December 20, 1999 at 16:12:20: Five wounded in clash over church school in Sudan KHARTOUM, Dec 20 (Reuters) - At least five people were reported to have been injured on Monday when police clashed with the residents of al-Takamul, a poor northeastern suburb of Khartoum, in a dispute over a church school. The school is run by the Episcopal Church of Sudan (ECS) to serve mostly Christian Sudanese displaced by fighting in southern Sudan. Bulus Tia, the Episcopalian Bishop of Khartoum, saidú students and teachers had arrived to find the school cordonedú off by police, and parents had come to demand an expanation. "Instead they were beaten up by the police," the bishop said. Locals said police had used teargas to disperse them. The authorities declined to comment. The bishop said local authorities in Khartoum state, in largely Islamic northern Sudan, had been trying for some time to take over the school, but that a court had ruled last Saturday that it belonged to the church. In the last few years, churches have accused authorities in the state of confiscating or demolishing their property and taking over schools in an attempt to suppress the growth of Christianity. The authorities deny the charge, insisting that the properties in question have been built illegally
