Mr. Smit, I first want to thank you for your response,
time, and blessings.
I am sad to say that I must begin this entry in much
disagreement with the first point you made in your
reply. As I ask many people, I ask for us to pull the
magnifying glass out on ourselves and the world. In
this Mr. Smit I hope you will find that religion
(including Christianity) has not only changed
dramatically, but also that change is crucial to
religion.
Your contradiction and illogical statement did not pass
your own test, being that the book and scriptures were
the mediums of guidance of your own personal change. I
hope we all can one day see how big the church is/was
and realize who the true leaders of he church are. Do
you really think men ordained by God orchestrate the
churches/mosques/temples throughout the world?
While on the notion of new perspectives and broader
analysis, i will explain why I ask you to "question
yourselves and not me"
I ask you personally Mr. Smit to use as an example for
others to see.
In response you say:
Basically "I" trust no-one else.
Sorry to everyone else, but that’s the way it is, for
"me".
"I’ve" been DISSAPPOINTED too many times before,
through "my" own innocence and naivety.
As you say, we filter in what suits, our own personal
comfort zone, and our own discernment.
"I’m" happy and content with this, and "I" certainly
believe, that ALL shall be “revealed in time”.
Now my point in including this is to point the usage of
I. The only thing we can count on individually is what
we individually witness. I can say anything I want to
you but, your only going to use information that you
choose to in time. My reason for having you all
question yourselves is because I cannot and will try
not to tell you what you see. A man questioning himself
calls for answers only supplied by his CREATOR through
messengers. God offers no contradictions just
revelations and change is a part of that revelation.
My gifts are for God, therefore I do not allow my mind
to wander off into making predictions to prove my
cause. At this point in my life I am still in school
and I choose to allow my behavior and words to spark
flames to the spiritual distractions of greed,
selfishness, and idolatry.
I dont wish for your trust for i bleed as you do nd am
not worthy, i merely pray for your continued
supplication nd growth.
My last question Mr. Smit, if you didnt question
yourself, why did you change after reading the book.
At some point you thought to yourself about something
and it made sense which led to your change
no debate here mr. smit, jus talking
thank you for your time nd i appreciate you all
