Well it might not fly..With some! yet all will live to Die..' And yet to Die! is life' once you enter; from This strife, into real rest; through Jesus blessed Who planted Eden! who sees your days, who Smashed the tower, into the babbling of myriad tounges into millenia, untill today.!

Friends have a listening for each other. People can discuss various points of vew. But from people had their mind shook like a clown, and a matter what you say, we won’t listen to you or vice versa. That losing game in which nobody wins.. on my right? I liked the Monoju and the title, espec Pangix

I mean by listening…a transforned person who puts their points of view to the side to Hear you…its an active state of learning and care for the other. It is nothing like listening to a comnercial which is passiveI… do listen to my friends and others. I dont nake believe I care,. Neither do I talk any different in real life,, being a phony is a loss for both people! A waste of time and hot air. Pangie.its also OK to tell another,,, I am really not interested, i honor that more than pretense, pangie xx

Absolutely Arlo, trying to ram religious beliefs down another’s throat, knowing well that other person doesn’t want to hear it, is reminiscent of the crusades! by all means practice away, but do it on your own turf, no fly zone indeed, cheers David

Do you, think so? Arlo.' LOL))) i note one.. A Sir Issac Newton, some may have heard of him? Apart from his physical science dicoverys he Also studied Escatology and the Bible generally He wrote many thousands of words on Gods Reality, and He explored 'world end time' as in When it will occour.? However many univeristys Were not wiling to accept these manuscripts It seenms the operate a dichotomy, between Physical truth and spiritual truth. So could be In temporal pursuits accepted, yet not so in His knowledge of God, and his acceptance of His Great Truths.' Wheew I'm tired now ' may God bless you.!

It certainly didn't stop Jesus, nor his followers, nor will it stop me. True Christians expect opposition and understand that most will not respond favorably to the good news. Searching for one honest heart in a million .... (John 15:17-27)

Jesus never let His character be diluted. But He was sad when He lost a lamb. Perhaps there are more profitable ways to advance one's beliefs. Arlo 1:1.
