One time deal,
Thank you for sharing this part of your life with us. I think, as you alluded, God is calling attention to something that needs to be acknowledged and exposed because it is so very real. He has an enemy and we have an enemy. There is a destructive false teaching that has been around for a long time. The fruit of this false teaching has resulted in the sifting of many souls, and the failure of their faith as Luke told us, in his gospel:
Luke 22:31-34
31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: 32 But I have prayed for you, that your faith fail not: and when you are converted, strengthen your brethren.
So we have a warning and a powerful message of faith. We are told to share this message of faith with our brothers and sisters, that all would be strengthened.
Your words, and the words of Hannah Debelek Birchman, are a strength to all of us. These words are hard to hear, but necessary, because, when false teachings are exposed, there is hope and strength.

Thank you, again, to you and Hannah, for your message about the strong power of faith...stronger than the lies of false teachings.
