O.K., quick and crypic, as there really is another life we all must lead away from the metal box. TBA. Of course. And very close I believe. Very annointed. I have no criticisms whatsoever, and can't believe it made it. Shallow and stupid me, I thought you meant the teeny witch things all over now. Forgive my ignorance and I mean ignorance. E-mail. I meant I e-mailed you. I was babbling about my past in the hippy realms long ago in my wildest dreams and don't like to talk about the time that is now forgotten, and thankfully lost the e.mail post anyway. But I do know something about which I speak, and didn't learn life by reading books or watching it on a screen. That is a defensive move on my part because I am very sensitive to the worldly and intellectual notion that those who follow Christ are morons with no brain or human experience. Your first post sounded like that of a Christian, with a concern for God being diss'ed and whatever on another thread. So, I respond, Hi, brother in Christ. You respond, no,no, not me, you got it all wrong. Then you come back, which is wonderful, question a little of the whole thing, and say you won't be posting here much. Like this is someplace only St. Francis and those who have taken the vows and tend the lepers only would enjoy. So, I say, hey, if you question any scripture, and it is keeping you in any way back in your mind, as scripture is, as Peter said, "some of it difficult to understand the exact meaning, and many who decide what it means on their own make serious errors which can cause them spiritual damage farther on" (my paraphrase.) And you know what? The questions that the unbeliever or barely believer brings up is often something none of us have a 100% absolute on anyway. The only absolute any of us know is that there was once a time we had no personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Now we have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and the world changed as of that moment in time. Ergo, I think, therefore I am, and Jesus is the Way, Jesus is the Truth, and Jesus is the Life (or Jesus is my Way, Jesus is my Truth, and Jesus's directions are my Life) and no man can seem to truly find the Real God without Him. That is something that we are all sure of, I do believe. As for other philosophies, I can only say of them, having looked close, that in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. But Jesus says now you have eyes to see. I'm just being factual here. Please don't be a stranger.
