I have said nothing about "not finding him faithful and true". Therefore your assertions about what I did believe and did not believe, in terms of this, have no traction or relevance. You need to stop talking indirectly about how strong you think your faith is. How strong you personally think your own faith is now has absolutely nothing to do with what my faith ...[text shortened]... ntly have are unrelated topics - or, least, not related in the way you are trying to make out.
Here is where I think you fall out according to scripture. Since I do agree that you
can have recieved the Word gladly at one point, but...
Mark 4:15-17
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
15 These are the ones who are beside the road where the word is sown; and when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word which has been sown in them. 16 In a similar way these are the ones on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy; 17 and they have no firm root in themselves, but are only temporary; then, when affliction or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they fall away.
You had no roots, you were not grounded, but you did recieve it once.
