Steve,

I am not a scholar, so I don't pretend to understand thoroughly all of the points covered in the lady's charges and in your responses to them. But more than the scholarship, I am impressed with (and thankful for) the edifying lesson you taught in the art of lovingly standing fast.

Thanks for the insightful feedback, friends. Much of the Bible deals with how we ought to live -- how we ought to conduct ourselves. (The KJV often uses the word "conversation" for conduct). And it seems to me it boils down to one word -- love. The more I read God's Word, the more I am struck with t...

I ask (not as a challenger, but as a learner), since God divorced Israel for her spiritual adultary, is He obligated to fulfill any promises He made to her as a nation or as a race? Weren't His promises conditioned upon Israel's faithfulness? In terms of the New Covenant (the New Testament), is not ...

SSS, I am a very recent addition to this forum, so I have not had time to become familiar with the "tone" for which you have apologized. But I am impressed with your humility, and with the generous spirit of forgiveness displayed by those who followed your post. Now that's Christianity in action! Th...

Good point(s), TK. And there's plenty of blame to go around -- for some insurance providers, for some insurance consumers, and for some insurance regulators.
