Thomas Paine once said: "Time makes more converts than reason." That may be so. I just tire of the nearly countless inhibitions binding those whose faith was found only after the exhaustion of all their fancies. Experience is a fine teacher if one is learning a trade or refining a discipline but is a terrible teacher if one is determining the veracity of the words of a viper. Such a student might say: "The Bible tells me that peace is only found in purity. But what of the whispers that it may be achieved more enjoyably in complete moral liberty? I can think of only one way to find out!" These are the same sort of folk who would determine the legal load limit of a bridge by experimentation. What needless destruction. If you believe in the word of God for forgiveness - believe in it for direction as well.
