But I gather a post here is either required or at least an expression of good etiquette.
I started using the initial Greek manuscripts of the NT when I was 14, albeit that was many decades ago (and I was expelled from my family's church once this was uncovered).
In the interim God in His grace has led me and taught me many things, some of which are actively eschewed by the Protestant and Catholic churches. The hostility of Christians saddens me, and the inability of Christians to grow (meaning change) perplexes me.
The main reason for landing here is that a forum I had frequented for 11 years (the only forum actually) has recently gone kaput, and a friend suggested this one.
I do not suffer fools gladly, and recognize that emotional reactions to factual considerations is the unfortunate norm of the human condition. Thanks be to God for sending His Son, to teach the core Truths that our Father would have us believe:
Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
