I cannot build upon any other foundation. Only His is eternal, and as a Christian, I am following the guidance He gave.

Which people have I shunned? Who have I turned away? I have had one person come to me asking to help, Hernan, and he is helping. I have not had any other people come to help on this project. I have had a long line of detractors asking me to turn away from Jesus in its creation and propagation, so as to "come back to my senses" and pursue the "right things of business" by keeping my "religion over there" and my "business interests over here," that never the twain shall meet.

It's simply the wrong way to be to divide oneself like that. It leads to the world we have. The truth is we are not divided people. We are all in, or we are all out, for Jesus. There is no middle ground.

>>>This is what all people everywhere are supposed to do with all things in their life.

All people are welcome to help.

>Why would you deliberately shut them out as a gift to Jesus who said not to do that?

I have not, and would not.

In which ways have I advertised my goodness? I point to the one who has given me my skills, talents, and abilities. I call upon Him by name, saying that if there are any talents I possess, they came not from me, but from Him, and it is to Him I desire to return all of these skills I possess.

I believe you have things misconstrued, John.
