To: stars & stripes forever

While I appreciate your ferver for Christ, you are not very seasoned in it. By all means do pray for whatever you feel you need to address in your life, by all means strive to learn the scripture that talks about the different parts of the body in Christ.

Scripture goes far deeper than a new believer can see, and God is FAR bigger.

If a Christian great like C S Lewis can lead people to Christ with stories that are filled with with wizards and orcs, your simplistic approach is perhaps a bit over the top.

Its great to be on fire for the LORD, but kindly do not burn down the Village. Fire both purifies and destroys. Burning witches at the stake brings no Love, Grace or Mercy to the table.

What fills your table says much about a man’s walk with Christ, after all judge a tree by its fruits.

Wizard is a label, not a vocation I suspect, quit tilting at windmills, there are real battles to fight.

Walk a mile in my shoes and you'd think differently. How presumptuous of you, American in Israel.

it’s better for everyone to not be quibbling about religion here, thanks.

President Trump crushes Congress and its pork filled COVID relief bill in this "special" message threatening a veto
White House ^ | 12-222-2020 | President Trump

President Trump crushes Congress and its pork filled COVID relief bill in this "special" message threatening a veto. He lays out all the pork in the bill including all the aid to foreign countries, DC pet projects, payments to families of illegal immigrants, and the paltry $600 payment to taxpayers, in comparison to all the pork.

Special Message from President Trump

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've learned much from Stars & Stripe's Forevers' fervor; perhaps I'm not seasoned in Christianity either. But, I always appreciate those patient enough to demonstrate humble humility and avoid dismissing my faith as inferior.

I do request that FReeQs and FReepers move religious debates to pm or Festival because we all are fervent about our spiritual faith and the subject has the power to pull us apart right when we all need to pull together and pray.

ThankQ!
