boy, reading all these articles really gets my head hurting sometimes.

anyway, Martin brings out the point that he is a christian but not like
Jeff.  Well, I don't know Jeff or Martin but I would like to make a
statement about christians in general.  There are many people who claim
to be a christian but are far from the real thing.  Kind of like a simulated
diamond.  I know this because I have encountered many and used to be one.
The point is a true follower of Jesus does just that, follows Jesus.
If Jesus doesn't make a change or difference in their life, they are not
a christian no matter what they claim.  If they do not truly try to live
the teachings of Jesus, they are not a christian.  Jesus said the real
test was love.  Love for others and between christians.  

What Martin complained about, not dating or marrying a non-christian is
definitely Biblical.  I would be interested to know how he proved from
the Bible otherwise.

just me
