"Anything they put their minds to, they can pretty much do," he said, marveling at the power inherent in size.

the only talent i haven't figured out how it could be used to glorify God is marksman.

IDF paratrooper Corporal David Markovitch foiled a would-be attack when he killed four Hizbullah members carrying an anti-tank missile in the village of Ghahar near South Lebanon.

A) They most certainly do. Whether or not it was your intent is on your head. What you wrote attempts to give an excuse for those who don't desire anything further, or who were never saved in the first place.

B) Of course there is a learning curve, I'm not debating htat. I'm debating your implication that some will never desire to learn. I call that bunk - there is no such thing as a Christian who doesn't desire to learn more and seek God's own heart. I've given you many biblical references to back up my point, you have used none. Your argument is driven by emotion, rather than God's word.

C) A lack of hunger for the word, as it relates to the saved Christian is a matter of obedience to God, not teaching style or reaching a "full point". Utter bunk to suggest that God's chosen will reach a point where they no longer desire fulfillment.

D) I've given you numerous Biblical references which illustrate just the opposite. You have not backed up anything you're claiming with Scriptural Truth, so my impression is that it is you, sir, who needs to spend more time in the word and learn about Chistian Accountability.

Do not pretend to know a single thing about me or what my role is within my church, because you're just showing your ignorance at this point. You can be content with "fat, dumb, and happy", but unfortunately that is a very unbiblical way of looking at the process of sanctification.

Superficial faith leads to superficial progress and is the result of superficial worship. Dig deeper.
