Bible Note: Thank you Tim and Makarios, You are definitely correct regarding the love we must show to others - adversary or not! The conversations I have had with my JW friends have all been very cordial in tenor and demeanor. I actually like them very much! I am totally convinced that God loves and finds value in all human beings (even those who are in the darkness like Saddam Hussein). Otherwise, how can I be so sure that He loves me????? I am convinced that God wants EVERYONE home with Him. He is an inclusive God, not an exclusive God. The primary thing anyone needs to do is accept God's gift of love, mercy, and redemption. Prayer for God's will to be worked in our lives according to His great plan is a powerful thing. Your sister in Christ Jesus Edie |
