How many times did you ask God for the Holy Ghost?

You know he has a reputation of exaggerating in his accounts even though he does have accuracy as well.

If it's so clear in the Bible, why did this escape the attention of everyone for 1700 years of the church's 2000 year existence?

I don't know. I just read it in Acts, supported in the Epistles and I believed it. Silly me!

It's your assertion that it's "His Word." So now we must evaluate your writings.

Go for it, . If you come after me, I'll pounce on you too! All's fair in love and war - right?

And you are not trouble one bit by the fact that no one held to this view throughout most of the church age?

Well, Pel - no. It's because He uses me and I am sensitive to His spirit, so I don't have a problem with it. It's because what He does in my life now, He did in the NT. So, I know there is no chain broken.

One time I made a huge mistake that could have destroyed my life and every day, He came to me and loved me out of it. Every day, He would not let me go. I didn't know that He loved me that much. I mean, I repented, was baptized, filled with His Spirit and lived a Christian life for years. And then one day, everything around me started tanking and I was tired. I was so tired of everything, I made a mistake because I didn't have the strength to keep walking, but He rescued me. I owe Him my very life. Aside from being filled with His Spirit and talking to Him through the years, He was more real to me during that time than ever. I didn't know Him on that level. I could still cry about it!

Anyway, gotta run. Enjoyed it you ol' cuss!
