[Continuing the discourse between Sinaite couple BAN/VAN@S6K and their missionary friends “CF”/”AF” —- here is the sequel. We will keep posting their exchange until one gives up on the other and if they never do, so much the better, as we can always learn from both sides of any issue. This is only one example of many similar interactions between Sinaites and former Christian colleagues; this is simply the one that has been recorded on email because the couples live in different continents.–Admin1.]

Dear BAN,
As I reread your last e-mail I picked up on a couple of things I need to comment on.
You may have mistakenly gotten the impression that we are looking into research along with you in a desire to find truth. We are interested in where you are finding info but in order to counter it with the truth. “A” and I have never been closer than we ever have been at this point in our marriage. We are enjoying God’s goodness and are growing in our walk with the Lord as we study His word.
Your example of the walk toward the Father and then His leaving you to take that step… etc, is troubling to me. In reading Scripture, the Father is with us always and will never leave us. Ps. 23; Psa. 139, and so very many other portions I could add. (Please read these scriptures) There is N.T. scripture which explains how we get to the Father and it is through Jesus His son and in fact states that that is the only way to Him. John 14 Realizing your denying the faith by which you came to Christ, I realize you are unbelieving. However, we hold the Word of God (the complete O.T. & N.T.) to be inspired by God and profitable for “reproof, correction.. that the man of God may be thoroughly furnished unto all good works.”
I have read the book you sent me and I beg you to read the New Testament. God purposefully says; “In these last days he has spoken unto us by His Son…” All of Hebrews explains the wonder of God’ ways in salvation.
Firmly believing that Jesus, God’s Son was sent to redeem us (buy us back to Him from the slave market of sin) we are anchored in faith and know He will keep us until the day we meet Him.
There is no more to research to do other than the study of the whole Bible which is always teaching us more about God and His ways. We implore you to stick to the reading of the Bible alone. If God can’t speak to you through it, He is not the powerful God of Abraham our faithful father.
Please read the New Testament before you read anymore from those who have decided it is uninspired and fallible or (whatever their beliefs about it) and you will see God in it.
We are and have been , along with our Christian friends, strongly praying for you to come back to the Saviour, Jesus.
Love,
“CF”
