Sure denadii, you can ask anything you want. For many, many years I have been attending Calvary Chapel Churches which of course are not denominational. I'm a Vietnam Veteran and when I came home I met my wife who was in nursing school and we got married two weeks later. She's been an RN for as long as we have been married which will be 50 years next year. Here and I raised three daughters, and from my daughters are four grand daughters and finally 3 grandsons.
I had to laugh and shake my head from the person that accused me of having something against women?
Has everthing my life and in my life with my wife been just perfect and rosie, hell no. I've been a Christian since the age of 18 but of course it was later that I began to grow and understand. I became involved with a group know as the Navigators which have a ministry on college campuses and miltary bases throughout the world.
I got into apologetics because I came into contact with Mormon missionary's. I heard what they had to say and I knew right away something was not right and I wanted to know more about them. It was then recommended to me to get Dr.Walter Martin's book "Kingdom of the Cults." Btw, he was the original Bible answer man and I made it my mission to get all his audio tapes and his video tapes of him debating those in the cults and when possible to attended his meetings. I forgot to say that we ended up moving to Southern California where Dr.Martin was based. I consider him my main mentor.
I should also say Dr.Martin was one of the main persons to confront wof teachings. You should also remember that what I say about wof teachers and how I feel about them are two different things. I don't hate anybody, it's just not in me. Just read how Jesus ripped the Pharisee's at Matthew 23 and then read what He says at vs37. And one last thing as I close. Do you know what makes a good marriage? Two good forgivers.
IN GOD THE SON,
