Big difference in the heart and response to that heart. We are not God.
I think the letters would put the Cartoonist on defense mode against Christians if we are not careful.
Just my opinion, of course.  |
Read my response to PoMo.
Then, we can all get back to the business of tearing each other apart over the amount of steps it takes to be saved.
