Boatbums...one thing I’ve learned over the years is not to engage with those who take a platform so as to sermonize or preach. I am sure you are a wonderful person and live a righteous life. I hope you are kind and generous to your neighbor. With that I will say...may you be blessed. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
LadyL...one thing I have learned over the years here at Free Republic on the Religion Forum is to not expect that efforts to explain the reasons for the hope that is within me to those who ask when they only want to hear sound bites and clichés...but I STILL try because I know they are not the only ones reading the thread. Thank you for the opportunity to glorify Christ with the truth of the gospel.
