RE: Jesus' Wide and Profound Effect Upon Humanity

Ed's inner struggle is between his heart and his brain. He has made a choice, let him struggle with it. He knows what is behind every choice he had, he is not ignorant.
 
"In addition to being a wise man, the Preacher also taught the people knowledge; and he pondered, searched out and arranged many proverbs.

The Preacher sought to find delightful words and to write words of truth correctly.

The words of wise men are like goads, and masters of these collections are like well-driven nails; they are given by one Shepherd.

But beyond this, my son, be warned: the writing of many books is endless, and excessive devotion to books is wearying to the body.

The conclusion, when all has been heard, is: fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person.

For God will bring every act to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil." Eccles. 12:9-14.

Don, you are complicating the issue unnecessarily. Mr. Ed abandoned
the Christian faith. Let him choose then between becoming a Muslim, a
Mormon or whatever suits his predilection. It is that simple.
 
 
To what complication of what issue are you referring? Ed challenges, I respond. I benefit whether he does or not. Who can say whether someone's response at some point might get Ed to switch tracks?
 
If he didn't have some lingering doubt about his current beliefs, why would he bother with us? He's obviously recycling old arguments to see whether they still hold up. Maybe someone can dislodge him.
