Mark,  it's this kind of condemnation and legalism that keeps churches like
yours empty.  You and Steve seem to think that you can win people to Jesus
and complete truth by finger pointing.  What does it is Jesus through prayer
and fasting and being a living witness of Gods love by being more like him.
Prayer was all that I asked for,  it should have been all that I received.
