I would thoroughly enjoy the opportunity. When I was young I almost became a minister, but I found I couldn't abide by the rules of man that govern the denomination. Since then I've sought my own salvation, in fear and trembling, but have had the pleasure to share portions of that path with many fine people...from many Christian faiths.

When I was young, I had nothing to do with God. I thank Him will all my heart that He came after me. From what I understand, you don't need a denomination, but "That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." I gather with believers to strenghten and encourage them, and to gain strength and encouragement from them. Thanks for not judging me.

Indeed mans doctrines and church theologies written of man do complicate matters considerably. Many only serve as the Lord stated to place burdens upon the backs that our forefathers could not carry and as a result failed.

Christ has asked so little of us in exchange for salvation and man demands so much to try & make it almost as impossible to abide in the word as it was for pre-Christ Israel judged under the law of Moses. Thousands perish daily by parents purposely ending conceived life before it's birth and this man is worrying about married couples not having kids by choice?
