Cannot commit? Really? Not even 5 minutes a week or 5 minutes a month? I'm disappointed! Time can be found if the desire is there.....

Commitment to a task or activity is a promise. I seldom make promises. I am loathe to break a promise if I find it necessary to do so. So I prefer not to make them.

Why wouldn't you be able to respond?

By faith, you could post the challenges. If I don't respond, you can drop it, and tout est fini.

If I do respond, a dialogue has been initiated.

Man judges a person by his past deeds, and administers penalties for his wrongdoing. God judges a person by his present character, and disciplines him that he may become righteous.

Why bother if there is no commitment to what the truth is? If your viewpoint can't answer a certain question, you can always not answer instead of admit your weakness.....
