I am quite comfortable in my Christian faith which I do not need to rationalize to you or Dreams...... my faith in Matthew 6 speaks for itself and does not need a man to interpret the same in order for me to connect with god. I do appreciate forgiveness because I certainly am not perfect, but I sense you expect me to kiss your ring, and that I should feel blessed in your forgiveness.....sadly I will continue to speak the truth........and that ring may feel more like brass knuckles as you fail to recognize your true beliefs.
If you are comfortable with your Christian faith maybe you need to reexamine it. There is nothing comfortable about being a Christian...ask the Duckman. If you truly speak where the Bible speaks you will not have comfort. Christianity has been watered down to suit all it's enemies so they won't really challenge us or require us to stand for anything.
let's see what others say about your Lord and savior.
