Ed. Note

Regarding the June 2004 editorial, “We Be Brethren... Separate From Me,” we want to emphasize that Abraham was indeed a mighty man of faith, one called the friend of God, the father of all them that believe. In many ways dear Abraham presents a wonderful example of faith. But as with all others found in the Bible, there is failure recorded for our learning. Every saint, no matter how faithful, falls infinitely short of the divine perfection displayed in that glorious Man, Christ Jesus.
