it takes time... from all flows the wisdom..even as you witness the darkness of life you will see the golden light that shines through. ... us mortals are so absorbed with ourselves we fail to see the glow. .. do what you need to do..and don't forget to breath and laugh....peace be with you mike..merle Merle,
Not "reject" so much as - 'don't need'. Not in a 'I already know' it sense but in a 'I'm already getting what I need elsewhere' kind of way. Do you understand what I'm trying to say? If you say there is a lot of wisdom in Christ's teachings, then from what I know of you thus far,I am willing to believe you. There are many sources of wisdom that can free and liberate us, we just can't exhaust them all.

So it is right that Christians should read and accept ALL of it(within reason, as the sacrifices for example, are just not financially viable for those of us with lesser means). However, the jury is still out on the eating of pork and shellfish, goodness knows what have you. I don't know what the big deal is but COQUILLES ST JACQUES and BOUILLABAISSE are just lovely!
