DCP, that is what it says.
Sip from it and savor the fruits.
The bible was written so that you wouldn't eat your neighbor without fearing eternal damnation.
Christians who take the bible so literally are no different than Islamic jihadists who follow the Koran.
If one accepts the conversion in his heart and fully, truly renounces his Christian faith within his own mind (which can be known only to God), then that person is in trouble.
If a person simply pays lip service to a bunch of whackos so they'll let him leave, while still speaking to God with a true heart, I think that person is still okay with God.
Peter denied Christ three times and came out of it okay.
