BACH
Well CARTER, you can "suppose" whatever you like, I suppose, but what did I
ask of you or state in my above post to you that would motivate you to
reply to me with this type of response?  You didn't pay one bit of
attention to anything that I wrote. You simply stated as "fact" that I am a
"sinner".
You obviously believe this to be true, however your beliefs do not
constitute "fact". The more obvious "fact" is that your beliefs are just
that, beliefs, and, as such, prove NOTHING!         
Let's hear you explain how and why such a thing as "sin" actually exists in
the first place and then show why and how I am guilty of it.
I'd also like for you to prove that "asking God to open my eyes" will,
indeed, cause HIM to do so.
Regarding your "sight" analogy, here's a saying attributed to your Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ in John 9:39....you try to figure it out, okay:  Jesus
said, "For judgement I came into this world, that those who do not see may
see, and that those who see may become blind." [RSV]

And Just so you know, I am not trying to sell anything,

>though I do know well what I proclaim. 


BACH
And Just so you know, I don't buy either of these statements!  You ARE
trying to sell your particular brand of the Xian religion, and most of your
posts show that you don't really know all that much about what you attempt
to proclaim.

>I think you well understand the concept of being born again - but you

would rather argue about it than succomb to its reality.

BACH
Actually, I don't understand anything about the concept of being born again
and I don't know why you would think that I do. That's why I asked about it
in my above post.  I wasn't trying to start an argument....just asking, but
you chose to ignore the opportunity to explain it to me, Jason.
By the way, if I ever decide to "succomb" to its reality, you will be the
first person I will "succomb" to, okay?
You should know up front, however, that I do not "succomb" on the first
date, okay? ;)
