Knever, I really wish you wouldn't get offended. You do realize we do this out of love, don't you? I don't want to make you angry. Please believe me. And I DO NOT think I'm better than you.

Nevermind. Look, other people read things different than you do, sorry if you feel threatened

Love
1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not selfseeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

As a highly trained theologian and minister I cannot begin to tell you what it feels like to me to listen to some of these ideas that simply run contrary to the ethic and theology they espouse. I cannot recall a single time in my time at RHP where there has been the slightest awareness of perhaps not knowing what the hell they were talking about when it comes to religion.
Do you not accept us as your brothers and sisters? Do you really want to start classifying people into seprate beliefs and family units?

I know someone is out there saying, "Oh yea, when did you admit any ignorance about anything here?" I do it all the time when I listen.

If you deny Jesus is Lord then you are NOT my brother or sister.
Neither are you my enemy. You are one that my Father still loves, and for that, I will love you, and witness to you until I die or until He comes again.

But satan believes that Jesus is the son of God. Satan does believe in God. Where does he fall in the family unit?

You can believe that Jesus is the Son of God but is he your personal savior.
Salvations was never given to the angels and never will be. Meening the fallen angels.
