Bible Note: Ed, thanks for your response. I can't help but to think that there is more than one reason for a course of action. I think that Christians are attacked spiritually not so much to get us to loose our salvation, but to ruine our testimony before God and man. If an unbeliever see you stumble in a particular area, one of the first things they say is; "and he's suppose to be a christian." Your testimony for God at that point is no more good in the eyes of that person. What makes it worse is that YOU might be the only bible they read. You and your actions. The adversary has been called many things, biblically, including the 'accuser of the bretheren'. He can accuse us all he wants, but The Judge is the same one that says that no one, at no time can pluck us out of His hand. And just for the record, I'm not out for a debate on this issue. I know it's been hashed time, and time again. I'm honestly curious about my brothers and sisters perspective on the matter. For me, this is ONE of the many ways I learn and understand things.
