Thomas and Dondi:
We are all entitled to our beliefs. You are entitled to yours and I, and others, theirs.. You are not going to change us, nor we you. Let's just let God show us the unfolding of His/Her truths in the fullness of time. I am perfectly willing to do that.
Both of you will live longer than I. But I have resevoirs of memory and experience that enlightens me every day when I learn something new and integrate it with the whole of my past, and I am as convinced of my version of reality and what is to come as I'm sure you are of yours.
Why not leave it all alone and not go out of your ways to attack those who, by virtue of their uniqueness, do not see the whole as you both happen to. I believe that is the crux of the matter. And, that seems to be what has transpired on this thread
It's not about spiritual mastery or hidden knowledge or having a good offense be a good defense. It's not at all about games. It's about G-d...your version and mine together. You happen to find them to be incompatible...I do not.
flow....
