I will continue this discussion later. Hold that thought. I have to help Mom. She needs a newer vehicle now that she is starting to come to Church with me. (YES!!!) So, we will continue this later this afternoon or this evening.
But, until then, Bro. Epley, realize that from what you have said, you have made the preacher a co-redeemer of sorts, for God alone does not save. Think about this, brother, and think real hard. Love ya in Christ.
