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.
I can guarantee you are not even knowledgeable of the Gospel that Yahshua preached or that was preached to Abraham...keep studying. You are preaching the gospel the church preaches not the one that Yahshua preached or that was told to Abraham.
