[Faith-talk] An invitation of coexistence.

[Poppa Bear]

Well spoken Mostafa. I believe that you are a great example of what it is to 
continually keep seeking truth and striving to walk in grace, humility and 
peace. You have a great determination to creat and carry out your goals, and 
you are displaying a very positive attitude that is like a breath of fresh 
air. I am glad that our relationship has been able to overcome the internet's 
impersonal way of approaching these types of dialogs and that the curtain of 
misunderstanding and hostility has fallen from between us. Keep pressing on 
and seeking the light of truth and love.
