I appreciate your interest in what I posted.

All your questions and concerns are legitimate and hopefully they will be answered to your satisfaction in the days to come once you start reading.

Religion in our society is always more than a simple belief in God. For those who are happy with and deeply involved in their religion, there is no reason to turn their world upside down by forcing anything, even if it’s the truth, on them, unless they’re open to it. My posts are meant for those who are having doubts to begin with. To complicate matters further, truth to one person may be heresy to another. Therefore, even though I want nothing more than to see everybody know the same comforting truth about God as I’ve learned it, I cannot delude myself thinking everyone will want it, especially when doing so requires one to relinquish some of his/her long-held beliefs taught by the church.

Your post tells me you are serious and ready, and I will gladly send you the information later today or tomorrow at the latest.

As to Prov. 14:12, sometimes the truth simply resonates. Other times, we will have to use our judgment and weigh any new information on its own merits and not let the source unduly influence us (as you will see, this is very important). Do you think people will be as willing to accept things like virgin birth and resurrection if these things were not pushed by a powerful church?

I’m not sure you picked up on my meaning. You may want to read the post of mine you’ve responded to in light of my other posts on this thread.

Complicated indeed, for the quotes around truth are missing.

The TRUTH canNOT be a 'heresy' to ANYONE!

John 14:6
