Lou, it is good to see you back and conversing with Miller about your life. Your absense has taken some life out of the board. I am trying to understand you, and in some respects I do, but I would like you to explain something to me about your belief, but only if you are comfortable doing so.
First of all, I believe you had an experiance that saved your life, I have never doubted that. But what I don't understand is all your quotes of the New Testament that are found in your description of it. It has been my understanding that Jewish scripture ends with Malachi and doesn't begin again with Matthew. Do you reverence the New Testament and read it? I don't understand how you can quote the words of Christ without wondering if the rider in your vision was Christ. I'm sorry if this question is one that would cause you pain. That is not my intent. I sincerely want to know.
If you could communicate this answer to me in your own body, outside of the rider experiance, it would help me understand it better.
