The claim was, people live what they believe.   My answer was "not always."   Was Samson a believer  --   a man who couldn't get women off the brain, was spiteful and vengeful and died an ignoble death of revenge?   What about Noah, his drunkenness and immorality with his daughters?  And Abraham, when he decided to manipulate the promise of God with Ishmael?   Or Jacob's deceit of his father, or Jonah's persistent refusal to do God's bidding and his anger at God's success.   Or your judgmentalism or my sarcasm or ----------------  you get the point.   

John, I would call these lapses of faith.  We’ve all been there, done that, I suppose. Izzy
