You're doing fine Nicole. *I* understood totally what you meant. God does
give some very implicit
directions regarding certain things, and sometimes it is hard to tell what
would be acceptable, and what
is teetering on the edge.
An interesting line of thought I have been having lately. The first man
created, Adam, was perfect in every
way, but fell into degeneration and sin. Jesus was called the "Second Adam"
also perfect in every way.
We were created in God's image. If, indeed the world, (and man) has been
degenerating, it is possible
that we had a far greater capacity than we use now. What is it they say? We
use only 10 % of our
brain? DId the "1st Adam" use his whole brain, and did Jesus, and is that in
part why he was able to
heal, to understand peoples thoughts, etc. etc.?
Blah, blah, blah. I just wanted to encourage you that, no, thinking things
through in your own way, certainly
does not make you ignorant at all.

I did not close my eyes, I just wanted more information.
I think I have been VERY open minded. I did not make my dicision UNTIL I
found more information from you all! I did not go to this woman and just tell
her, oh you are a witch and I will not be a par tof this! LOL I thought she was
JUST an herbalist, but when it seemed different than that I had to, and DID
make up my OWN mind..I am not blinded or ignorant by my religious views and I
respect all of your oppinions and appreciate you doing the same:0). Just
because I do not believe it is for me, or something I would recamend doesn't
mean I am IGNORANT because I want to follow the bible and God I do not think.
People who don't feel like that about God and religion can't possible
understand. :0( So I am worn out from all this! I hope NOW I have made myself
clear in what I am trying to say? And honestly I found everyones perspectives
interesting to say the least..;0) Thank you all for your oppinions!
