YM told me of his experiences, what he’d gone through in his life, and what he felt. PB: That’s really interesting. But I have a question. How do you know the thing you felt was caused by Jesus? Four points to note: (1) Use of the passive voice doesn’t make Jesus the actor in the sentence as it would with the active voice, “How do you know Jesus caused the thing you felt?” If you construct your statement with the passive voice, the subject may be more likely to be open to alternative causes. (Active voice: Mary tuned a violin. Passive voice: A violin was tuned by Mary.)
