I woke up very early yesterday morning and after praying some in bed I got up and found the computer was sleeping and not shut down.\u00a0 I bumped the mouse and saw that that man [who was offended at “non-Christian recently) had sent another email. \u00a0 I had known in myself since Saturday night when I received his second email what had happened but still there was a moment of hope. \u00a0 I read it and I replied briefly to him about being reasonable. \u00a0 Afterwards I went through thinking “Did I say too much? or, “Am I to blame in some way?”.\u00a0 The Lord reminded me that I had not even replied to him when I received that second email late after Saturday’s meeting, criticizing us for being non-Christians.<\/span><\/p>\n

He also let me understand exactly what you later wrote about.\u00a0 He had listened to 9 tracks of the New Birth series but then was “offended”.\u00a0 He had all he needed but had gone past his answer and was looking for a way out [of believing the truth]. \u00a0 Then I had one more thought that I put aside as being too sarcastic or “smart”.\u00a0 It was to write and ask the man to let me know when he no longer believed that the spirit baptism was the new birth experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wednesday morning, we went over John 6:66 in the Greek, and you pointed out how the Greek implies that those people went back to their “former things”, the religion of the Jews, after they left off walking with Jesus. \u00a0 Later in the afternoon I was working steadily on a report for Cedar Rock when those two things were brought together for me.\u00a0 That man will go back to his former ways and beliefs and lose the truth God showed him.\u00a0 The saying was too hard for him and he went away from Jesus.\u00a0 I guess he will probably come to believe that it was indeed another gospel he was believing in (as he at first had feared, he said) and will thank God for escaping the curse Paul wrote of to the Galatians.<\/span><\/p>\n

Few are blessed to hear those 9 tracks of the New Birth series.\u00a0 About 45 minutes more truth than he will ever likely hear in the rest of his life.\u00a0 It is sad but I am with Peter who said “Where shall we go”\u00a0 Ha! I checked that.\u00a0 He didn’t say that at all!\u00a0 He said “to whom shall we go?”\u00a0 He was still looking for a man to guide him.<\/span><\/p>\n

==================<\/span><\/p>\n

Hi Damien,<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

It struck me as true that you said he had listened to the first 45 minutes of that CD and\u00a0 was looking for a way out.\u00a0 That’s usually how it is.\u00a0 What they point the finger at is almost never what their problem really is.\u00a0 I told a sister yesterday at lunch that the accusation recently made against them was not the real reason her son and daughter in law won’t come see or call her any longer.\u00a0 Their hearts had turned from Jesus, and they were looking for something or somebody else to blame.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
