Touchy?? I'm trying to convey to you what is true, yet you argue against it. Reread what I wrote and think about it. I said we are confirmed by our reading God's word whether we are His or not. Do we love Him, do we hate sin, do we love the brethren, etc? If those things are true of you, did you do them through your strength or His?

As far as people making things too hard, it is the way of the Pharasee, we aren't made righteous by picking out of the Word the do's and don'ts and doing it, but by allowing the word to transform us. We don't sit back and let God, we stay in the word, pray without ceasing, we WALK with God. To do it any other way is to glorify yourself.

You say I think too highly of myself, I heard that from you before. You judge me when you don't even know anythign about me, but I have become accustomed to it. I ask you again, do you know my heart? It saddens me that you become personal when your stance is challenged. As before, those who read the posts can determine what is truth I'm not here to convince anyone. As for what Robin wrote originally, she said poetically what I "tried" to say plainly.
