I haven't replied much because I am still figuring out my "stance" in all of this. I do find I get defensive when what IM is is portrayed inaccurately. I don't sit for an hour chanting what I want to come true, for instance. Beyond that, I guess I just feel "frustration" that something I see as common sense is SHREDDED in debate after debate. I know I am not my thoughts or beliefs.... this isn't so much about believing to me, more than it is
experiencing.
So, John Freestone, I do have to question... why? Why do you feel the need to "save" people from what they experience as truth? What makes your truth the "ultimate?" Why should I believe a darn word
you say???
That sounded more harsh than I meant it...
But, seriously... I can see WHY Christians get defensive.... quit trying to change 'em... let 'em be!!
I mean, even if YOUR truth is the ULTIMATE TRUTH for all.... you can't sell it to others by bashing it over their heads. It just doesn't work that way. People will resist that kind of abrasive attack. We all have our own paths to walk in life. Why do we all have to walk the John Freestone path?
I know, I know... we are all just "discussing" here.... But at what point does discussing just become tiresome?? LOL I am tired. You believe what you believe and no matter HOW many different ways you say it, I will not buy it because I am experiencing something completely different in my life and YOUR explanations don't fit my life. You may see me as "insane" for "buying" LoA or IM and that's fine. I am perfectly happy and content in my insane little life.
