An old friend who studied Theology at the Franciscan university in Stubinville Ohio mailed me a book while attending. It was written in 300 AD by St. Augustine it was brilliant. It was deep complex contemplative theology. I use this as a reference to the level of intelligence that existed during that time to bring people to the realization that Christ was the manifestation of God. People were not easily fooled in the days of Christ and the many accounts of his miracles in not just the scriptures, but other writings as well leave little to dispute. This one thing has allowed me to evangelize to none believers with much success. Thanks Jack for bringing the true meaning of Easter to our hearts.<BR/><BR/><BR/>AlanAlanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14802567820052230588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11823150.post-43314217613601792182008-03-24T10:28:00.000-05:002008-03-24T10:28:00.000-05:00Happy Easter Camo and all-<BR/><BR/>From this small corner of the world I say AMEN.mighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00761362718069303605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11823150.post-90957009275365888862008-03-24T09:37:00.000-05:002008-03-24T09:37:00.000-05:00Happy blessed Easter,Camo.<BR/>Belated in the traditional sence,but for a believer,Easter is everyday.that is what sets us apart.He is Risen.Maggiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11300322920415069302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11823150.post-58981380064522542992008-03-24T07:52:00.000-05:002008-03-24T07:52:00.000-05:00Beautiful, as aways.
