You stated: Gain more confidence in myself? Just before this you thought I had too much!
Sorry, R2R but here you go again misinterpreting and side speaking, nothing I have said or posted inferred or implied stated you have too much confidence in yourself. Not one sentence word or phrase. Have you done this all your life? not clearly understanding or listening, misinterpreting?
My life's work and study is not the question here, but since you take offense, I opine that the NATURE of my study would be valuable to back up the claims I made initially in the debate...kind of a professional testimony of my long years of study of the same book you read. I'm sad to say that were I the minister of your congregation you would be unable to hear me or not even willing to listen.
Come to me as a little child - means open your heart and mind.
with unending love honor and respect,
Deborah
