Theos-Talk Archives (April 2005 Message tt01076)

Hallo Mauri and all,

My views are:

I am glad, that you responded.
But I have to say, that I have difficulties in
understanding, what you are actually
saying.

Could you be more specific about it?
Are you saying: I want a Teacher - And are you the right one?

What comment by Gerald are you talking about?
And what are you actually saying in the below?

The world is to me "the world" and the same as "the whole world".
So I agree with you on that.
