Not a single one of us likes it, and to say that one group of people hates it but not your own is nothing but the self-righteous attitude of the Pharisees. If anyone is doing this, they need to repent. It may not be nice to say it this way, but I know of no other way to say it.[/quote] eh... i have to disagree just on one part of the argument..... you make it sound like no one ever likes conviction from the Holy Spirit but I think it depends on how important you feel the thing that the Holy Spirit is convicting you about is to you... there are times when I actually am very grateful when I am convicted about something by God/the Holy Spirit..... it may give me that guilty feeling in the pit of my stomach, but I know that it's for the best... but of course there are those times when I just dont wanna listen at all
