Thanks for the advice. I think this is the leading of the Lord because He
led me to read recently about when Jesus was questioned by the Pharisees
and others, he asked questions back to them.
I already emailed him back with some church history, I thought a different
approach might help. When he responds, I will pray about how I might
answer with some thought-provoking questions. I feel he may be struggling
with the idea of not being saved along with my mother and all of his
church, friends, etc., which is an understandable struggle.
Thank you for your prayers, and again your advice. If the Lord lays
anything else on your heart, let me know. Nothing is impossible with God!
God bless
