Sweetness and light may not, in fact, be spending eight hours in church of a Sabbath, but it isn't holes carved in the side of your nose and nipple rings either.Col. B.

Your example of why the father had unbelief was, in my humble opinion, completely correct. Another perfect example of unbelief comes from the Apostle John when he ask Jesus if he could come on the water with him. M't:14:28: And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. I've heard all my life from pastors that John sank in the water because he took his eyes off of Christ, but I belief he sank in the water because he showed he had doubt when he said "if it be thou".<br /><br />Thanks Again,<br /><br />Rick WhiteRick Whitenoreply@blogger.com
