My name is Ron Edson. Since I became a Christian in 1948 at the age of 9 I have seen divisions in the Christian community over these issues. I have seen people reject Jesus because of Christians' responses to these issues. I have seen Christians reject each other because of these issues. This has led me to repent and restudy Scripture as one who has no position to defend instead of studying to find explanations that fit what I already believe.
