I'm sorry if I'm coming off a bit like Will... it's not what I've intended at all, and part of the thing I have to work on is how I say things. I really haven't been witnessing like this openly, nor have I been writing my feelings down in something like this, so it's hard to get things phrased right. I do have a passion for this, I do believe I have a gift, but things aren't going to get easier.

I don't believe what Will believes, or at least not entirely, but maybe I'm coming off a little rough. Which wasn't my intention--most of these posts are just a way to get my feelings down, and I guess people are able to take them the wrong way. But, hey. If I don't practice getting these things down, I'll never be able to get better, right?

Part of my issue may be that I don't understand the points of resistance, as you put it, because I tend to come across the same thing a lot. Some of that is my fault--I *can* be a little harsh sometimes, especially when I get really excited/upset about something--but in other ways, I feel that certain viewpoints don't fit into my interpretation of the Bible. In that case, as I did with evolution, I've studied both sides and decided which one made the most sense to me. I've done that with pretty much all of the biggest issues, from abortion to gay marriage to Christianity to evolution to religion, and maybe I've come out stronger for it, maybe I haven't.

But I do have a lot to learn. I need to really learn what's going wrong and how I can fix it, because I don't really want to come off as someone harsh, or someone that tries to manipulate and coerce people into believing what I do, because that's the last thing I want to do...
