I didnt know he was seeking....i was just trying to find out what his position is.
He is, in his own way. It's a scary thing. Extremely so.
With all due respect, I feel like a lot of your "what are you trying to stir up" comments really are taking the focus away from Christ and the simplicity of the Gospel.

I thank you for the willingness you've shown to focus now on Christ.

You want an essay?
If that's what you want to write go for it. If you're a picture drawing kind of guy, go for that. If you express through dance, I'll even go for that. Express yourself in whatever words/gesture/picture/means you feel moved to.

And this is much more for your benefit that mine. If the only person who ever read it was you, then it would still be gold.

Well, what if your wrong about everything? God still loves you

Being wrong is only damaging if you double down instead of just facing it. I am wrong all the time

Those are fantastic words. How about you ask God Himself those excellent questions and listen for His answer?

Ok but i thought i had to follow everything perfectly.
No.

No one does. We're all flawed sinners with flawed understandings. We strive to follow God and draw near unto Him, but He's the one doing all the heavy lifting. We just hold on tight, like Peter when Christ rescues him.
