   It is abundantly clear (a big understatement) to me and evident in my   
   life for 36 years: the Holy Spirit leads and reveals the way in which   
   you are to go, not Bible interpretations as a sinner sees fit.   
      
   But, it is your call, of course.

   Well, you have your opinion, I have what the Lord revealed. Moses and   
   Joshua were in a pillar of cloud, and in a cloud you can speak face to   
   face with God and yet not see Him. That is good enougheth for me, as it   
   should be! What? Too simple? :-).   
      
   I don't want to argue about. Like with the James' conversation, the   
   Lord/Holy Spirit reveals to me what He reveals to me, as with all these   
   conversations, and James has his religion to try and defend, as do you.   
      
   One thing that has been emphasized of late, is that JW religion relies   
   on its religion to save them, as does the Catholics, Charismatics,   
   Duane's, Dana's, Sproul's, Washer's, Asbury, and all the rest.   
      
   You can flex the doctrines to suit your sinner states, you see, but the   
   Lord does not compromise; one of His infinitely marvelous qualities!   
   :-). How can you be sure of anything that compromises? You can't.   
      
   How much is one sin too many? Well, that depends, doesn't it, on the   
   sinner's opinion. :-). Reminds me of that saying, "One beer too many, a   
   thousand not enough." You know what I am saying, but is this the point   
   where you submit to calling me a "winebibber?" :-).   
      
   > There are online bibles   
      
   I don't need online bibles or the instructions and ideas of fallen men;   
   the Lord is always with me. Yes, whether you approve or not.

   By the way, you don't "how" to walk in the Spirit of God, you either do   
   or you don't.

   Of course He is good, but men are not. :-).   
      
   "Ye do err" regarding my personage and personhoodness, Robert. Greatly.   
    And it will certainly come out in the end. Ye have spake many untrue   
   things about me over the years, and yet here I am.

   Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were   
   YET sinners, Christ died for us.   
      
   Jeremiah 10:23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it
