Thanks for a good discussion. I didn't want to get too snippy (which I have a tendency to do: in fact I'm in a rather snippy mood) --- but you have explained yourself well, and I appreciate the time and thought you have put into the dialog. Now I've got to get to bed. God bless you.
G'Night!
Mrs. Don-O,
I appreciate the interchange.
I don’t think either of us will change their view, but that wasn’t the reason to have the discussion. If you or anyone else has entrusted themselves to Christ’s completed work in the cross, I consider them brothers or sisters in Christ. Families disagree at times. They can still love as He commanded us to love each other.
Blessing to you and goodnight.
