Something Significant
Jesus was, from everything I can tell, the first in all history to teach that each person had an unborn spirit within. This spirit had to be born, as it were like his body, from within. While the spirit of everyone in the flesh is unseen, the fruit of their spirit can be seen. This is how they are known.

Only God does the drawing. When Jesus said those who come to God can only come because God draws them, many fell away from His ministry. The instant I experienced that I felt suddenly it was too bad, that Jesus sort of lost followers, but Jesus was resolute. Later it looked like it was a fact to Him and that was all there was to it. So when God, the Holy Spirit of Existence, attracts anyone according to the words of Jesus, then I find myself parking it off to the side for further understanding, rather than me sitting across the table questioning things.

As for myself, after reacting the way I did about churchgoer harangues, in their torment talk, me blaming God Himself for it all, I have to say He put up with a truck load of nonsense from me. Guess you have to say I was much later incredibly embarrassed, with me accepting the misplaced authority fallacy. I should have known but my spirits were lifted when I read about God forgiving David because David was honest with God. I might have been stupid but I was definitely honestly stupid.
