Bible Note: Hi, Minor! I tried back-reading to see what happened... I'm fading out... I think I understand your point: Jesus calls us to change our ways into His Way; to give up our sinful lives and enter into the Kingdom--not that we on our own have the power to change, but that we can abide in Him, who is Pure, and He will strengthen us and give us the ability to remain as children of the Light! Please, do not let your experience here tarnish your mind and heart! Our growth in the Lord requires much sacrifice and humility; episodes such as the one you have experienced should serve to test our resolve: Jesus or bust! God Bless! Angel |
