1. Have I used, or implied, the word’offended’? No.
Yes, it is true to say ‘no thanks’, in response to being witnessed. No offense taken or given, there.
2. We all hear things we don’t like, and choose not to listen. No offense given or taken, theree.
3. I asked the question, not in the action, but in the intention.
4. As to the word ‘aura’, we all have one, and that is science fact, it is not something christian only.
5. A lot of your answers show me your ‘freedom of religion’ is ok, as long as it’ y’alls’, and nobody else’s.
Terry, thanks. Still don’t understand the reference to the 1st Amendment in your earlier post.
As to the ‘aura’ comment in another of my posts in this thread, I was referring to what people discern as a difference between those who have a certain peace about them - and those who don’t. And yes, that is not exclusive to Christians.
Freedom of religion is a good thing. We should all get to believe & practice what we will without interference from government - and live & die with the consequences of our beliefs & practices.
There is ONLY one name given whereby men may be saved from an eternity away from God, Jesus Christ the Righteous. Without His righteousness one is lost.
