My use of the "my God your god" tactic was supposed to provoke thought, not more scriptural citation. If the point is not obvious that we worship the same God is not obvious, then it is foolish to continue the discussion. My point is only that you have no means towards understanding God, except by your own and other human interpretations of text that is impossible to understand without direct contact with God. You cannot possibly understand the meaning of the word, "Christ," nor can you understand Jesus, because you are reading the words of scripture through a narrow human filter called the intellect. Believe it or not, this is not a personal attack. It is an attack on all of humanity. We all share the same limitation, our humanity. We also share the same common salvation in Christ, but you have chosen to make yourselves into an exclusive, "700 Club." I'm sure we'll bump into each other some day. Peter
