Bible Note: Thanks Kalos, I did know of the scriptures you pointed out, but I appreciate your contribution. By "teaching" I was referring to mommas presentation of it. Perhaps I'm reading in to her statements but I took it to mean that this was a statement of truth concerning all people of all time. She and I are working it through I believe and I hope to understand her position and make my own clear as well. I hope to learn from her and she from me. Forgive me if I came across cross. To my discredit, I have allowed myself to be on the defensive lately. with love, Jeff |
