. ● 2Cor 13:5 . . Examine yourselves to see whether you are living in faith. Test yourselves. Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in you? --unless, of course, you fail the test. The reason I brought that up is because Teresa complained that the place of God in her soul was blank; there was...

. ● John 3:5 . . I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. There lacks a consensus among the experts as to the meaning of the water about which Jesus spoke. But I think it's pretty simple because he spoke of it again in the very next...
