@Knittinggrace it truly breaks my heart when I see brothers and sisters trapped by a religious spirit and twisting scripture to fit their world view. 17! Dont you see you argue the case of the Pharisees? You verify your righteousness because of the language you used in the Navy and how others felt bad when they were around you? Dogs! that's not a testimony of righteousness. that's bloody religion. Jesus used harsh language as will many of the people I will interview. that will not stop.
@Knittinggrace btw, in the above response, I used three unacceptable words from Chinese, Swedish, and British English. Your language and culture has made certain words bad, not the Bible. Sons of Vipers would have fallen into the same category during the days of Jesus. Good luck on reconciling that.
