<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff>Strange a God who mouths Golden Rules and forgiveness,
then invented hell; who mouths morals to other people but has none Himself; who
frowns upon crimes yet commits them all; who created man without invitation,
then tries to shuffle the responsibility for man's acts upon man, instead of
honorably placing it where it belongs, upon Himself; and finally invites this
poor, abused slave to Worship Him!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>I learned the Lord's Prayer as debts and debtors. A lot of
denominations say forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those that trespass
against us. How did the difference come about? Is it a Methodist vs Baptist
thing?<BR><BR>Roger<BR> <BR></BODY></HTML>
