Oh, and he said, “What’s with all this religious stuff—you can’t associate with gays, you can’t have anything to do with the wrong kind of people?”  I said, “We aren’t into religion, ourselves.  We are just into Jesus.  Jesus got in trouble all the time for hanging out with that kind of people.  The religious folks said He shouldn’t have anything to do with sinners.  But Jesus wasn’t ‘religious’ like that—He just loved people.” J We are hoping he will come to one of our Christmas services under the excuse of seeing my husband (who he works with) playing in the band.

We talked about Jesus, etc.  We invited him to church.  He said he might come.

However the mind/brain is physical.  That leaves the consciousness, which I believe is part of our soul/spirit, is it not? God did not breath the physical into Adam, but the spirit.  Do you agree or disagree?

I am not willing to enter this debate. I don't have the stomach to battle this one. -- slade -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of ShieldsFamily Sent: Monday, 20 December, 2004 11.33 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [TruthTalk] TOE revisited Upon what scripture do you base that belief?
