Zach: You wrote: "Without choice love is rendered as something meaningless." That kind of stuff sounds really great on Oprah, but where is your Scriptural support for such a notion?

Please support your arguments with Scripture and not with catch-phrases which may or may not have biblical authority. --Joe! |
