Dear JMR, it wasn't my intention to pit one denomination against the other. I didn't even mention either one in my post. Let me see if I am hearing you right. Are you telling me that because my wife was a practicing Catholic and I was a Protestant, that we were both automatically born again Christians? I can assure you that we were both very much of the two groups mentioned and neither one of us was a Christian, as the Bible describes a Christian. Do you mind if I ask you a question, what is a Christian by your definition and if you use the word believe in your answer, could you pamper me a little bit, by explaining the word believe? This righteousness that you mentioned, what do I have to do to get it? I didn't mean to send anyone off the edge by quoting Scripture; if I struck a nerve I am sorry! A lot of people practice the ritual of religion but they don't have the reality of a personal relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ. There are thousand of people in churches in this great country of ours that don't have a clue where they would go tomorrow if they would die. They hope that they would go to heaven but they are not sure. The Christians of the Bible were sure where they were going, and why they were going there. Sitting in a church every week doesn't make one a Christian anymore then sitting in a garage would make them an automobile! If what I am saying doesn't make sense to you, I pray that you will ask a lot of questions until it does and then you will know exactly what my point was in the post. In love, CDBJ | ||||||

Dear CDBJ: I apologize from the bottom of my heart for my rude comment. I meant no harm by it. Please forgive me. I am an unpatient person and I pray that God guide me to become more Christ-like everyday. Thanks for your comments and may God bless you richly. -JMR |

Apology accepted; I have done the same thing myself. I know how easy it is sometimes for me to let my old sin nature take over. When the Bible talks about the tongue, James 3:8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. There are times when I have everything but the fangs. I have had to use I John 1:9 for this problem several times. I forgive you; just tell the Lord then get up and as Paul said forgetting those thing that are behind I press on. In love, CDBJ |
