@Brian764,
A-men. I won't disagree with it in principlal. glad you believe. And thanks for the post. i shall let others pick at it here and there, which I am sure will be done. But to me I'm just happy to hear another believer speak if they use the Bible and not put into it their own thoughts or some pastor's ideas.
And I have to confess I didn't read it all as the pats and dallas are in the background. But what I did read was sound from my point of view.
