You are a Christian, really; why is that? What makes you a Christian just because you believe? There are going to be those who tell Jesus they did things in His name and will be cast out because Jesus is going to claim He never knew them. The book of James says when we have faith, and there is nothing that shows it as a reality, it is a dead faith, your treatment of others t ...[text shortened]... even the Word of God shows what is in your heart, it comes out of your mouth we see it as you write.

@kellyjay saidBe that as it may, KellyJay, but - like I said - presumably this is now the end of you bellyaching hypocritically - and disingenuously, I might add - about people "making it personal" on this forum.
