What I remember it says anything you bind or set free on earth will be bound or set free in heaven. In other words, if you forgive others your own sins will be forgiven in your own mind.

Love AND RESPECT is the only REASON to keep it !

Fearful people run from what they are afraid of.. Like you ran.
Like you stand here and whine about fear.. DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY..
THAT SIR IS NOT LOVE IN ANY FORM.

But a little bit of healthy respect can keep us from running and shreiking into the darkness BECAUSE YOU ARE NAKED BEFORE HIM AND HE CAN SEE THROUGH ALL THOSE BILLY GOAT BERRIES......

Like a wife who respects her husband does not run from him.. He loves her and protects her and she respects his sacrifice and his dedication to her and his family. Knowing he has stress on him and she protect his heart!

So healthy fear/ respect is a good thing and will keep you in the game and on your toes ..AND SAVES EVERYONE EARS FRON ALL THAT WHINING..

That's apparent if he relies on links to explain his hope.

I can believe you ask such a foolish question. That is a no-brainer.

When I finally read the entire Bible then Jesus's message began to make sense. Many Christians don't seem to have a clue about either Jesus or the Bible.

It's all common sense.

If it's something that can only be understood from reading the Bible, then it probably isn't true, because God reveals everything that is true to his creation.

I take that as meaning you don't know.

If someone can't even say anything without quoting something else, then to me they have said nothing at all and they have no real mind at all. The quotes are meaningless out of their context.

In other words, they are a mindless robot.

If they can't say what they believe without using religious or biblical terms then there is no substance to what they are or what they believe.
