I was going to ask this of Mike but since you seem to be in such an ecumenical mood I think I should ask you. How many saving Gospels are there? BTW the real issues with baptism are whether it should be reserved for believers and if dumping water on the heads of unbelievers is efficacious to salvation. I maintain that it is not.

"For instance - there is an endless supply of men who think they are disproving Preterism (a position I hold to) but would NOT enjoy defending the many splintered concepts of their own futurism." Brian Brian, this is one of your posts that I call a "keeper." Plenty of knowledge and truth to go around and I would hope that some took it to heart. You know, the older I get and the more I see the grievous sin that man has pridefully heaped upon his own kind. I have seen and read about so much suffering; especially of the young and the helpless. I was a hunter at a younger age but today I cannot bring myself to kill even a small critter that scurries across my floor. So much hunger and death from man's inhumanity to man across the continents since time began with man and his descendants. How can God love us? I spend more and more time contemplating my relationship with God and the mystery only deepens. Maybe that is how God wants it to be. I know one thing. There will have to be much more suffering until God's final plan is revealed to humankind. James

Two months ago, I walked away from a job I had had for over 14 and 1/2 years to a job of seemingly lesser status. But having been confined in a shop environment with the same 4 people day in and day out made me realize that I could not share my faith with others accept those with whom I may chance upon by providence or those with whom I come into unison on the Sabbath at church. You said a lot. But it is the truth as it has been divined (hopefully) by the Holy Spirit to you. God's Word is so infinitely powerful. The Word can open up to a person as easily as reading line by line, but there are also deeper and deeper meanings laying in the scriptures. I think each person has to decide for themselves. This is something I wanted to share with someone else.... From the (April-May-June) quarterly: A Jewish cantor (worship leader) and his wife who lived in Lincoln, Nebraska, began receiving threatening and obscene phone calls. They discovered the calls came from a leader of an American hate group, the Ku Klux Klan. Knowing his identity, they could have turned him in to the police. But they decided on a more radical approach. When they learned that he was crippled, they showed up at his door with dinner! He was utterly flabbergasted. His hatred melted before their love. The couple kept visiting him, and the friendship grew. He even thought of becoming Jewish! Did someone bother to tell the person who questioned the day of the Sabbath, Jesus was Jewish and kept the law according to the Jewish calendar? What day do the Jewish people to this day still honor as the Sabbath? The catholic church changed the day from saturday to sunday. However, that being said, I believe the true key to keeping the Sabbath is in Romans, chapters 7 and 8. Not perfect, but always hoping, Mike
