BTW, I do much appreciate your tone.
I just don’t have an enormous amount of patience on this dogma. It jangles my spirit on so many levels. I find it an offensive affront to Christ as well as to common sense and to Scriptures. That’s just my construction on reality. Not trying to offend you. But throwing a thread like this in my face will often get a forceful response.
Please don’t disappoint me by allowing yourself to be thin-skinned or have a chip on your shoulder.
