Jesus was crucified for being a heretic, and yet he said while he was dying, "Forgive them Father, they know not what they do." How precious and sacred. Jesus loves his Father, and said he did only his Father's will. Loving the Lord with one's heart, soul, and mind is the prayer of my heart, because that's what Jesus did, and his actions were dictated by that.

Thank you. My wandering faith needs more reading of the Bible and less of my imagination. I follow you on Twitter, and am grateful for the encouragement.

Christa: I appreciate you saying that. That's my real goal here -- to show people how interesting these stories are, so they crack open the Book for themselves. I salute you on your journey. Thank you for taking the time.

Good essay.

There seems to be nothing more that the Left hates than heresy. They must assume we hate others for thinking differently as they do.

People love setting the terms of conversation. The search for truth is too important to let them. Thank you for taking the time, Bob
