Bill Why is there no way to explain such transformation? Why is allowing mysterious to you? Have you never come to the understanding that allowing something to occur rather than trying to change it is in your best interest, perhaps everyone's best interest? Of course you have. And so understanding is the source of this mysterious transformation. This understanding need not be credited to a volitional being. Understanding occurs. If you are not separate from what God is, what, pray tell, is this grace that thou doth accord to allowing? Does this come from outside of what you are? Is there a God somewhere who decides to do this? Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
