One out of two ain't bad, David. When you go to the second hand store for a new suit, do you ask for a 44 long? Rather than having this sin conversation one more time we'll just agree to disagree. You just spoke the other day of the remnants of human nature even in such as yourself. Let's just say that those 'remnants' find an opportunity for expression every single day of your life. You eat every day, you breath every day and, you 'remnant' every day.
By the by David, I'm not calling YOU a liar. However, I am, once again, calling you self deceived. You remind me of John Nash in 'A Beautiful Mind' excepting your delusions are smaller than his. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Miller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org> Sent: June 03, 2005 06:43 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Obesity > John wrote: > > I was illustrating "sin management," David. > > Who said anything about slowing down ones > > metabolism?
