OBW, you might have an easier journey down in the Bible belt because of some solid Bible training in your youth. I did not. I grew up literally not even knowing anyone who was not Catholic. I spent 12 years in Catholic schools. Later on I learned differently about some of them, but I never heard about being "born again" until I was 21 years old and a colleague befriended me. Before the LC's, I had less than a year as a real believer, yet so little time to study since I went to school at night.
Perhaps you missed my point about "dumping Lee." Some who have done this have also "dumped Jesus." I have mentioned this several times. That is the context of my disputed comments about "discerning the good from the bad." I just don't understand why this is so hard to understand. I can only conclude that "
what we have here is a failure to communicate."
