Dear Greg;

It appears by your last letter that you are no longer interested in examining the truth about Jesus Christ.  I am correct in this assumption, am I not?

I must admit, your extremely sarcastic tone surprised me a bit.  I did not feel that anything I have written you warranted such a response. However, I am sorry if anything I have written to you has inappropriately offended you.  I never meant to cause you any hurt or anger.  Remember you first contacted me, and I in turn, offered to share my understanding of many of the questions you expressed.

In your last letter, I felt that I was being made fun of and put down.  You did not even seem interested in an intelligent examination of the issue, or more hurtfully, even interested in being friendly (I truly am sorry about what you are going through with your uncle, and merely wanted to share my support).  You mentioned the fact that I have been putting these letters on my web site (your cousin David saying you were "getting beat in the debate").   I hope that is not what offended you, is it?  I am correct in recalling that you said it was "fine by you" and that I even encouraged you to do the same and put the letters on your site as well.  If you have changed your mind and now find this offensive, please let me know and I will pull them off my site.

I thank you for taking the time to correspond with me over the last few months.  I pray that Randy and others you love are O.K. and I pray that one day you may be more receptive to what I have shared with you about Jesus.

Peace,

derek
