Subject: Who is this One (or one)? |
Bible Note: Hi Kalos, Certainly it would have been less confusing for you to have agreed with Searcher than to connect to the fact that I should go to school and learn English. You and Searcher have a valid point in that being obsessed, troubled of mind, an evil spirit ruling a person; all these have negative meaning and significance. But I wonder if there is necessarily that negativity. Webster for "obsession" has this also: 2a) the fact or state of being obsessed with an idea, desire, emotion, etc. b) such a persistent idea, desire, emotion, etc., esp. one that cannot be gotten rid of by reasoning. That sounds like it could be a magnificent obession to me. Not necessarily negative. From the heart, Ray |
