Hi Blake,
I really understand your frustration. Believe me, I feel exactly the same
way. I listed seven of the most obvious ways that the Bible Wheel helps
transport the children of God to the hospital (to continue the analogy.)
Have you responded to a single one of them? Even one?
The unfortunate answer is no. You have not even acknowledged, let alone
addressed, any of the points I gave in direct answer to your questions.
I would be delighted to continue the conversation if you were to make an
effort to respond to what I say. Otherwise, your suggestion that the
conversation end is probably a good one. If it must end, it would be nice to
have it end gracefully.
Thanks for the discussion. Your efforts are appreciated.
