[Judith Anne]

Did we miss read your comment when you wrote of Paul “I think he may have been insane”???

Misread. No. I still think he may have been. It's just amazing that all the brickbats haven't changed my mind, LOL! If bigotry is the consequence of taking St. Paul literally, then I have to reassert the comment.

Seriously, Judith, you say you once did not believe and then you believed. That's good news. Maybe return to Paul and read him again. A Christian shouldn't be deprived of the beautiful truth Paul preached and the comfort he gave those who love Christ's appearing.

He was the preeminent preacher of the Gospel. He was God's gift to you and me. Enjoy him.

"Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's." -- 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
