Here lets finish your last sentence. SOME RELIGOUSLY think they DO the works, MOST don't live by the SPIRIT or they would be walking HOLY but your right, a few do live by the Spirit. AND IT IS SEEN BY HOW THEY WALK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamblers count on this, btw. I lost $20 in a game of Tonk holding four Kings in the NAVY @ 1980... best investment I ever made. I am no gambler. Haven't gambled since.
