This is a request for clarification to those interested in the aspects of this post in question. It is not a spacific request to the author, although it would be their choice to respond to it or not.
It is written here,[...the same faith you had when you accepted Christ..the same faith you {must} believe in now...truth...for {we} know He (Jesus Christ) never leaves us nor forsakes us...].
I am unsure as to if the statement above means that:
A. who are the {we}?
B. could there be another faith that one can accept?
C. Who are those that Jesus never leaves or forsakes?
D. what is the "truth" refered to in the post?
E other relevant aspects.
If I was to have the clairfication requrested, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
Lou
