If you do not give someone something they cannot possess unless you give it to them in the first place, then how can you criticize them for not having it?
Aloha brother Winman,

I'm real pleased that you took the time to read the links. I am "working" on answering some of your questions - but they are coming fast and furious.

Please be patient, because they are excellent questions - that deserved to be answered.

1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
