I will guarantee that your faith won't be enough upon impact.

And I'll be taking the same route, facing the same issues. But not for the first time.

But worry not, jimmie. You'll eventually get to the other side. With the rest of us.

You said your "card" (which you said is a requirement) is faith and your "community commitment".

Has this changed?
I used to wield a pretty mean right fighter sword back in the day. I've dropped all of that stuff you mentioned for naked and unashamed. How do you expect to run the race dressed like that tinman?

Truth, righteousness, gospel, faith, salvation and the Holy Spirit are not made out of tin, and won't slow you down one bit. It is too bad you gave it all up for something else.

Jesus never had any kind of armor. He won on a cross, not with a sword.
It is anathema to militaristic "Christians."

He didn't even need the "word" as you describe it. He WAS the Word!
