Some of us Christians don't believe as Mr. Dubuc }does. Mr Dubuc and his fellow-believers do not represent all of Christianity, }whether they claim to do so or not. Betsy, The quote you attribute to me was apparently made by Paul DuBois, and is definitely not mine. Please try to keep us straight. I wouldn't wan't someone blaming him for something that I said. :-) Other than that, I agree with Paul's statement. I don't think anyone pretends to speak for all who call themselves Christians. Paul has been all little imprecise, maybe. Perhaps he should have replaced the phrase "Christians recognize" with "biblical Christianity recognizes". In our culture you really have to qualify the term "Christian". Anyway, your objection seems irrelevant to the point Paul was trying to make here. -- Paul Dubuc {cbosgd,ihnp4}!cbscc!pmd The true light that enlightens every one was coming into the world...
