'God's Example'??
So what about those included in the great
perichoresis who do not endure to the end? Judas didn't.
And what about Israel who were given the Promised
Land but only two of them believed they could take it.
This was written for an example to us. We are
also given a 'Promised Land' which is our own heart but
the same enemies are camped there and some on this
list are making the claim that we don't have to take it.
You are one of them JD and here you are telling me
you are as pure as it gets... Hmmmm! Someone should
have informed those 10 spies.
like a hand in a glove.
