   Thank you for your honesty, and for speaking from your heart, as you   
   clarified your understanding.   
      
   However, your attempt to drag me down into your understanding is in error.   
   You see, by the Grace of God I have been Born Again and spirit filled. I, as   
   scripture says recognize the voice of my Shepherd, as he says, My sheep no my   
   voice, and another they will not follow.   
      
   Sadly, what you stated points out the hollowness of your superstitious   
   beliefs, as there is no basis that you can accept that will bring to your   
   understanding the reality of God. What religion will you next follow when you   
   see that reality, Hinduism?   
      
   “This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with   
   their lips; but their heart is far from me.” (Mat 15:8)   
      
   I pray that the scales of blindness fall from your eyes and that the full   
   truth of the Lord will be revealed unto you by His Grace that you might know   
   Him. Jesus. Not just know of him.
