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 karen alias larryg
