Fair. You’ve heard it before. I’m not going to keep pressing.
Let me say what I actually think. I don’t expect a comment thread to change your mind. Arguments rarely do that for anyone. They didn’t for me. What changed me was Christ Himself, and that was not the end of an argument. It was the end of running.
You grew up in it. You read the Bible. You met the people. And some of those people cost you a home when you were young. I’m not going to pretend that didn’t matter. It mattered enormously. The God I know would not have shut that door on you. The men who did were not showing you Him.
I’m not asking you to agree with me. I’m asking you to know that you are seen, that what happened to you was wrong, and that the door Christ opened was never the door those men slammed. You don’t owe me a response. I just wanted you to hear it from one of us who knows the difference.
