{We can’t just talk to God when we need something, it’s more than that! We need to talk to God every day inviting him in to our hearts, minds and souls to guide us through our day and in our relationship with others.}

Now that I can agree with

{We can’t gain salvation by quoting scripture, we must adopt, practice and advocate the teachings of scripture throughout our lives.}

I believe it is more than this too, it is more than adopting, practicing or advocating, it is about allowing...allowing that love that is spoken of, to be in your heart all the time with a loving compassion for others, even our enemy, now that is a practice hard to let it flow naturally 24/7.

I never challenged his conversion...
I merely pointed out that you tend to stack the deck when presenting evidence to back your points... And attempted to point out that you would reject the same thing if others were to attempt it...

God bless you brother... Stay strong...

"Some people think of emotional intelligence as a soft sk**l or the ability or the tendency to be nice. It's really about understanding what is going on for you in the moment so that you can make conscious choices about how you want to use your emotions and how you want to manage yourself and how you want to be seen in the world," said another.

Researchers in Belgium have linked a lack of emotional intelligence with right-wing political views, reports PsyPost. The study, published in Emotion, found that those who lack the ability to understand and manage emotions are more likely to have right-wing and prejudiced attitudes.

The concept of emotional intelligence was developed by Yale and the University of New Hampshire researchers back in 1990, and it's all about how emotions impact thinking.
