I resent the idea that this demonstrates mine or anyone else's immaturity in the faith, resistance or stubborn refusal to obey God or a denial of Scriptural commands.

Go ahead and resent, beller if you must, but it does demonstrate exactly that, for it is a watershed issue, and God makes it so. And the more one rebels, the deafener He gets.

I believe that when confronted with God's will as in Proverbs 23:31 and Daniel 1:8, the spiritual (hu)man, without requiring a dozen other reasons, simply says, "Sir, yes Sir!" and moves on. Can you see the Holy Ghost asking for your approval, "Is this OK with you?"

What I resent, kind sir, is certainly not the discipline of the Lord, the leading of the Holy Spirit nor the lessons Holy Scripture teaches us. Instead it is when another presumes to judge someone else's spiritual maturity based on a few Internet posts on a subject that Scripture does not conclusively - contrary to some opinions - come down on one side or another. So, please do not presume you know my heart or my relationship with my Heavenly Father because I disagree with you on this subject.

Now, I also am finis.
