I also made a comment to Rick about the sermonizing. In his defensive, though, he also provides a lot of solid technical posts, so I don't want to twit filter him. I just wish he would isolate the religious stuff in separate threads. Personally I just stop reading any of his posts which go off in that direction.

>>Jesus came to set men free from the bondage of this world. His arms are open to everyone. There are none He will reject, who are excluded, except those who purposefully exclude themselves.

>>I pray you'll think on these words:
>>I Corinthians 3:18-20 - KJV - "18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. 20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain."

>>Very simply:
>>There is the flesh. There is the spirit. All flesh is lost and will come to naught. All spirit is eternal. God is spirit, and He guides people that way. It is why they must be "born again" ... of the spirit ... before they can enter into Heaven, because all men who are born in the flesh are dead in the spirit. Only when they are born again are their eyes opened to things of God.

>>I often weep, sometimes bitterly, at what I see going on in this world. To the people here. It doesn't have to be like this. Only sin, and men's love of sin, keeps it like this. There is a better way ... His name is Jesus. It is that simple. It is that easy to have. It is only men's hard hearts who prevent it from being had. There is NO other barrier.
