Just curious. Are you an ex-liberal Protestant? I am doing somewhat of a study regarding conversion. Thanks.

I was a liberl Protestant while in college and I voted for JFK and Carter. From 1963 until 1969 I served on a Special Forces A-Team. After my service in the army I worked as an insurance agent and attended seminary, where I earned a doctorate in theology.
I read your profile, and while there is some good to commend, the war you are contemplating is spiritual, not physical. Not everything in the Bible should be translated literally. Jesus did not mean he was a literal door, and neither did he mean for you to literally pluck out your eye. Likewise, when he said to follow him and let the dead bury the dead, he was not suggesting that literal dead men are going to bury dead men.

Thanks! I appreciate your well thought out post. You gave me some food for thought.
