AMEN, Forest Keeper!

I'd encourage you to write a book, but then you'd probably have less time to spend here preaching the true Gospel of Christ, as you do so faithfully and forcefully, and that would be our great loss. 8~)

When that book is completed, you’re gonna have to let me know so I can see if the Church will accept it as canon. Gotta stay sola scriptura after all, don’t ya know? Maybe we can fit it in between First and Second Corinthians! :-D

FK-””AMEN, Forest Keeper!

It would be far better for Fk’s soul to try and live the following,rather than write a book that Jack Chick and others have already done.

I include myself in the following prayer as well....

Litany of Humility

O Jesus! meek and humble of heart, Hear me.
From the desire of being esteemed,

Deliver me, Jesus.
From the desire of being loved...
From the desire of being extolled ...
From the desire of being honored ...
From the desire of being praised ...
From the desire of being preferred to others...
From the desire of being consulted ...
From the desire of being approved ...
From the fear of being humiliated ...
From the fear of being despised...
From the fear of suffering rebukes ...
From the fear of being calumniated ...
From the fear of being forgotten ...
From the fear of being ridiculed ...
From the fear of being wronged ...
From the fear of being suspected ...

That others may be loved more than I,
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.

That others may be esteemed more than I ...
That, in the opinion of the world,
others may increase and I may decrease ...
That others may be chosen and I set aside ...
That others may be praised and I unnoticed ...
That others may be preferred to me in everything...
That others may become holier than I, provided that I may become as holy as I should…

AMEN, Forest Keeper! I'd encourage you to write a book...

And I was told by the Reformed that the Bible is all one needs, that it is perfect and that it is perfectly perspicuous. Why write a book then? because "perfectly perspicuous" isn;t really perfectly perspicuous as is isn't always is? LOL! Or to eclipse the Bible? Or to convert the "reprobate?" Or for one's own glory and pride?

I always wondered why Protestants, who swear the Bible is all one needs, write more books about the Bible then any other sect and cult. Is it for money or for self-aggradizement, or both?
