Nor did I say that it wasn't good either Martin. I said nothing to
that issue one way or the other. I am truly unconcerned with what
does or does not surprise you.
If you would be interested however in discussing off list and
posting to Challenge, a web site, individuals that express interest or
whatever, concerning the issue of whether christianity is or isn't
good I would be glad to affirm the proposition "That which the Bible
teaches that Christians are to practice is good." Interested?
