As to the former I agree. Am I to infer from the latter that you are totally dispassionate when it comes to disagreement? Are you, in reality, emotionally unmoved? There exists no sense of internal distress? There are beliefs you hold to that reflect a misreading of Scripture, doctrinal error and, on rare occasions are just flat-out zany. None of the foregoing in any damages our 'family' relationship.
So then, it appears that you and I are, on this rare occasion, in complete agreement. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Miller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: December 07, 2004 09:58 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] The right way to get to the truth > Bill Taylor wrote: > > ... but have you gotten to the truth?
