Now, Quix...
I guess I'm like ol' Thomas on this one. Thanks for quoting this article in full, though. This is the one point that jumped out at me:
"SPECIAL OFFER! "MEGASHIFT: Igniting Spiritual Power," documents resurrections in 52 countries and is available today for a 25 percent discount."
I thought I cut all such invitations out. Sorry I missed that one.
I personally believe:
FREELY YOU HAVE RECEIVED, FREELY GIVE.
However, The Word also says:
A WORKMAN IS WORTHY HIS HIRE.
Certainly some overemphasize it and that stinks, imho.
That's one reason I no longer subscribe to the ELIJAH LIST.
The list owner rebuts that he supports many unwed mother/single mother families by doing so. Sigh.
Besides, folks are happy to spend more on an evening's dinner for 2--which will only end up in the sewer.
At least these researched stories have the potential of resulting in Eternal Life for those who read about them.
And there's something wrong about trying to get a message across in a book? Some of you FReepers haven't got a clue! Cheez.
