Was this meant for me?

V21, “when subjected to the testing influence of affliction, abandons his faith and relapses into his former condition.” – Meyer’s NT Commentary

You’re too kind.

Your answer ma’am to divide the two,



But I’m afraid you are not being very kind to my parameter. For I said it was first a “guard” and “device” even when things point to the perfect ministry, we can still look that authority square in the face and say, ‘you are wrong’ –IF- this feature of God’s will is in place.

“Perfect ministry”?

Now here I thought you would have jumped all over that the first time I mentioned it. Oh well, still no takers? Okay, why should I be the one to spell this out. Again, what could I recognize wrong even when I hear a sound word of instruction to correct a few, or many with precision, that is, precision aside from the correction I am seeking?.

Com’n, , ,warriors.

MichaelS. I have to agree with the others. You need to speak plainly.

From the Book of Mormon: "my soul delighteth in plainness unto my people, that they may learn."
