Hi Buddy! Not pushing my beliefs on others..but I could not believe how 'perfect' you expressed yourself' on this topic! I am impressed... I happen to feel this exact same way, when reading this thread several days ago. You picked the very same point that I got out of it. ( regarding 'OUR SOULS BEING FROM GOD) Jesus did come to 'SERVE"... Not self-serving at all...
Way to go!!! You touched me with your post... Thank You for being a person who is willing to say exactly what Jesus himself would mostlikely say- in terms of your observations of the differences you described. PERFECT! ( bible based ) A witness to truth. J.M.H.O.
GOD BLESS....
