Joe, there has been neither anger nor annoyance in my responses to you, only an attempt to speak directly and honestly to the premises you stated. I did not want to be offensive to you in any way, and I'm sorry that you've taken my replies that way, but I also know it would be of no benefit to you to have a dialogue that did not address the issues at all. Though you have said farewell, I hope that you will return to read this comment, and realize that I have spoken from concern, not misery or hostility, and I hope that you will continue to consider the words of Jesus and of all the Bible, for there is substance there that you've not yet found. Despite your denial of the need, I hope you'll search for it. As Jesus said, "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it."
Matt 13:45-46 NIV
