I hope you’re right, and I hope this convention adheres strictly to the bible. I will wait and see.

On a side note, I just had a conversation with a young lady who was violently opposed to the bible, and was extremely ticked off at me when I said it was the absolute truth.

She said it’s like any story and embellished. I said either Jesus is a liar or he’s not, which is it? I was accused of being of inferior intelligence. I tend not to argue much, just tell the truth to a person’s face and let the Holy Spirit do his thing.

This is the kind of attitude it seems which has been around since the biblical days. Messages aren’t well received.

We all need to stick to our biblical guns no matter what society says.

’ I said either Jesus is a liar or he’s not, which is it? ‘
Interesting. What answer did you get. Even though I am secular I pose this one to the irreligious from time to time. Aside from cacophonous cursing I have gotten the following comeback (s).
Jesus was deluded a half crazed ‘wonder working rabbi’ quite common on the fringes of Judaism.
or
‘Jesus might not have been a nut case crackpot philosopher and prophet but the people who edited the texts to create the Orthodox New Testament were indeed liars manipulating words to have a slick synthetic product to lock the masses in place.

Unless one is deeply read in New Testament studies and classical philology the only comeback is the ‘Testimony of Faith’ which is useless on those who are very proud of having faith only in what can be seen, touched, smelled and tasted.
