was before you posted about praying for him,

Don't think so. see #1715. I was just making a comment that about a year ago a lot of us were very intense in our posts about Stevens "first announcement". How many of the people here have stayed the course and tried to reason with him? Today is a very sad day for me (even though I was expecting it). Suddenly the calvary arrives. I was just asking why? For the kill or to change his mind. JMO but it seems like a game to some (you and RN excluded).

If it seems like a game to you, take a hard look at some of Iggy's posts at the time of his "prior conversion" to messianic-judaism last year. Iggy was ecstatic with all the shock he generated. You'd think he did it just to get attention - and now that said attention has died off, he's out to have a conversion experience again. It's like this is a game to him. If anyone's not taking this seriously, it's Iggy himself.

Prove me wrong, Iggy. I think you'll be converting again before the year's out. Next time it'll be along the lines of herbalism, spiritualism and magic. And remember, I predicted it first.

The cavalry has been here since Iggy's original announcement last year - even if individually each of us were not present on the forum. BigMack, for all his convictions about Calvinism, pinged the FR Calvinists to come to his aide with Iggy. Iggy's shown himself time and again to be uninterested in a serious examination of his beliefs, even when conducted by online friends (like BigMack) and assisted by others (like the FR Calvinists). He's not searching for truth. He's running away from it. I'd wager that even "Bruce of TOMY" himself (the uncredited author of Iggy's previously messianic-toraic FR diatribes) would probably reject Iggy's current beliefs at this point.

On the other hand, Calvary itself has been present, since the beginning of time, waiting for Iggy with open arms. And continues to be. Isaiah spoke of us in this way: "All of us like sheep have gone astray" (53:6). Iggy's always been astray, and his "quest for truth" simply shows that he hasn't found it. He's just decided to take the SheepMobile down a different alley, that's all.
