Dear Sam: I thought you really blew off the intermediary questions by referring to an earthly court; saying you were familiar with how they work. But I'll overlook that to be fair. I'll cut you a lot of slack by saying OK you are right there is no satan or evil one, or fallen angels; I'm really stretching it here but OK I'll stretch it for the sake of discussion. With all this out of the way; back to square one; why are you intent on suffering the consequences of lack of pardon, and how will paying the price for negative acts raise the level of your wisdom when the penalty is spiritual death, eventual spiritual ignorance, eventual spiritual estrangement from all truth. I promise you I have never heard of the net you referred to , bbs. Arguments aside, what is your plan for eternal life; the bible says fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. Once burned, I may be afraid of fire as a small child but over time I begin to find out all the benefits of fire. I have been a Christian for 30 years and have been ' seared' a little when I've gotten too close to the flame. For that reason I view Christ as my way of approaching God safely. If your method of doing it using yourself as your own reference point, can bring you close enough to God for eternal salvation, then great, I'm happy for you. But if it doesn't, the flame will be removed eternally from you. I firmly believe you see the fire. God must do that much to draw men unto him. One day we will see who is right; all I have to go on is faith, until the day I put off the shell of this earthly existence. I have a select file I put hard copies in; your response to me went into it.....take care, you sound like a great guy !!! I sincerely mean that... IN Christ.gregor
