I was once a mild mannered Wesleyan/Arminian that battled for over a year against the Calvinists. I threw everything I had at them, after all it was sooo obvious they were WRONG
How could one believe that you needed to be regenerated BEFORE you got saved..when EVERYONE knows you have to be saved to be regenerated.
I did not consider that the dead do not grow or change or choose...Of course you can not see the Kingdom of God unless you are born again..
So a few months after the religious crusade was over and the Knights had all wandered back to their respective corners, one night I was reading the word and it jumped off the pages at me..They were correct ..I had been wrong
So BTL sometimes people's minds do get changed on FR
RnMomof7, Thank you for sharing that with me.
To All: I find that I must offer a retraction and an appology for my statement, "you arn't goning to change anyone's mind around here" (meaning the Religion Forum). Fellow Freepers, I was wrong and I am sincerely sorry for what I said.
I said what I did before I learned of what happened with RnMomof7 and before I looked in my Freepmail box. When I looked in my email box, I was amazed to find overflowing messages. Some were from people who had posted to this thread, but more were from those who had not. They were all messages of encouragement, praise to God, blessings, inspiration, welcomes, and of God's love. Some were from people who have rethought, or who said they might have to rethink, their positions of dress in the church because of my wife's story. And a couple from people who are dealing with matters of dress in their own church and were encouraged.
I am deeply moved and I thank you all. Your kind words are a blessing. My wife is out of town now, but when she returns I will show her all of your wonderful posts and emails. I thank you on her behalf.
I never knew it could feel so good to be wrong.
To those who Freepmailed me: If I have not yet responded to your email be patient I will write you back. It is late now and I must get to bed.
Again, my appologies and thanks.
