- This put what I have experienced into total perspective. Thanks Ken, very
- eloquent and I believe you are exactly right. My personal experience is
- my convincing proof. The bible had been a confusing and frustrating book
- to me before I was saved. I just could not understand it and it would
- amaze me how someone much less educated than I could understand it.
-
- It was not until the day I read the third chapter of John did the veil
- fall from my eyes and I began to see what certainly had been hidden
- for so many years. The moment that veil falls, you have to make a
- decision, and to reject Christ is to refuse God! I'll never forget
- that day that in a split second, I couldn't understand and then I
- could. I will never forget the reading I did, day and night for about
- a week, the joy to understand and the faith to believe. Wow, it has
- been fourteen years and I still remember like it was yesterday.
-
- Good topic of discussion. I hope there will be some good contributions.
