Lizzie, I am sorry I was slow in responding to your comment. Gail and I went to Scotland and Ireland for ten days. I loved your comment, the process of living with the consequences and the painful process of moving forward, I believe is right on. Peace Fred

Anonymous, I am sorry this reply is late Gail and I were traveling in Scotland and Ireland for the past 10 days. The fact we are challenging you in your thinking is what we have set out to do from the start. Enjoy the challenge. Peace Fred

Patsy, I am sorry I response was so slow. Gail and I were Traveling in Scotland and Ireland for the past 10 days. No as I have thought about this more we can live in the Love, Joy, and Peace of the Holy Spirit now, and that’s the Spirit world,IF we sin, then we lose some or all of that Love, Joy, and Peace as we explained when I refused to give money to Jesus. I believe we are going to write about this more in the next few weeks. Peace Fred

Pip, I am sorry this is late, Gail and I were traveling Scotland and Ireland for the past ten days. I couldn’t agree with you more on your thought about AWE. On the subject of Purgatory I believe we will be writing more as I thought about Purgatory as we were on our trip. Peace Fred

I believe you have the correct emphasis: that God wants us pure and we do, or should do, as well. The process of confronting what we have done wrong is the suffering.

Always I have read “fear” of the Lord as “awe”. It makes no sense to fear our loving God. This is not ‘cheap grace’, rather amazement that our Lord is so kind and helpful. Great work, Fred – keep your wisdom coming.

I just want to make sure I’m getting this. Are you saying that you believe we are living in Purgatory now?

I love all the different ideas to think and pray about. Also, thank you for always giving us resources (books, podcasts etc) to check into.
