Hi, Juls! I know that it is hard to ignore a "friend's" request for enlightenment... the reply to ignore the letter is correct in as much as a non-believer, atheist, or any other person who by definition is anti-Christian would totally ignore any Truth that the Bible has to offer... They are not ignorant of Scripture, as the letter attests... they simply choose to reject God's Authority and serve the creature (themselves or others who play god) rather than the Creator... You made one strong statement at the beginning of your post: "I admit I do not have vast knowledge base with the bible." This could very well be your personal "WAKE UP!" call from Jesus, telling you to be a doer of the Word not just a hearer... it is your responsibility as a Christian to involve yourself in Christ's Doctrine... you cannot do so through a third party's ballot--you yourself must study Scripture and you must establish a personal relationship with Christ! Using a Bible and a concordance dictionary (both provided on-line by various Christian groups) dissect that letter... but do it for yourself not for your "friend's" benefit! Point of reference: Remind your "friend" that there were Mosaic Laws given to the people of Israel to keep them from emulating the debauchery and theologies of the pagan nations around them... also explain to your "friend" that some of the Mosaic Laws were retained because they deal directly with worship or morality--the state in which a servant of God must remain in order to be God's servant... Jesus incarnation, death and resurrection brought changes into the world which affected the Mosaic Laws... Jesus' Doctrine not only offered changes but perfected God's Commandments which were being circumvented by Israel--such is our spiritual state today... people like your "friend" concerned more with their own moralism than with submitting themselves to God's Authority! If you trully want to help your "friend" out of that rut and disbelief... you must first nurish your spirit (prayer and study of Scripture) right before engaging him/her on the topics on his/her letter or any other spiritual matter. God Bless! Angel |

Angel - God bless your soul, dear sister, you are like a breath of fresh air on this tired old Forum and to this old man who, tonight, has been feeling rather down and out and somewhat discouraged by some events of the day. You do a fine job. It's good to have you on the forum, Angel. --Hank | ||||||

Hi, Hank! Thank you for your words of encouragement... I too have felt those moments of discoragement and following various threads contributed to by you and others have bolster my spirit and confirmed that Christ's Word is still alive today! Thank you again for your kind words... I do have a little clarification... though my name is not a typical male name in the US... I am one of very few guys that have it! (I say one of the few because, with the exception of two acquaintances I had (French and Italian), I've not met any other guys with this name--well aside from the televesion Angel (the vampire with a soul). God Bless! Angel |
