Ouch!.... that will leave a mark..
My Fetus, I mean my sister (now 50+ years old) is a seventh month preemie.. How many months before the seventh was she a baby?.. And how can she be a baby at 7( or 1 thru 6) and Not at 9.. Shut a few (mouths of seared conciences) up with that question myself..
But then, I believed a bit of nonsense when I was a Primate myself.. You know, back before I was born again and "evolved" into what a human is supposed to be..
Thank you, dear Pipe. A Scripture comes to mind:
Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men. For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.A song lyric, too, arises in these things, sung by Stephen Curtis Chapman:This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.
Titus 3:1-8
Remember your chains;
Remember your chains are gone.
Amen.
