A clear description of Christianity

Mon., Feb. 10, 2020

I would like to express my gratitude and joy at the publication of the letter from Rod Foss (“The real Jesus,” Jan. 19) in Sunday’s paper. I can’t recall of any more clear and accurate description of the heart of true Christianity appearing in this most public forum.

Thank you, Mr. Foss, and also thanks to the Spokesman-Review for not only publishing the letter, but also for highlighting it as you did. If the truths in this letter troubled anyone, I would suggest you might take your concerns to the only One who can address them properly — the One who is the author and finisher of all things. Persistent, sincere questions will ultimately be given sincere answers.
