Re: Well Gerard

To whether a Christian should invite someone into a place like Purgatory Pub, all I can say is that I wouldn't make such an invitation. To whether a person who gives such an invitation is a real Christian, I can't say there either; 1) I don't know her heart, and 2) the definition of 'real' Christian varies with the person making the definition. As far as I know, the person in question is a real Christian, but a faulty one much in need of Grace. However, that could apply to me also, or to Gerard, or to Jack, or to........ etc.

However, I don't think it's necessary to bring the evidence of a 'crime' committed in one place to another place (unless the crime was murder). That approaches gossip in my humble estimation. Or, as an oooolld friend said, "Leave the crap where it falls, don't carry it around from place to place and get your own hands dirty". He didn't say 'crap', but crap is close.

The signature one-liner that came up on my random generator thingee is very hard for me to follow. But it's a very timely one-liner.
