I don't think that makes me a bad person. I know what I am joining, and I don't believe it is my place as a consenting member of that church to foment rebellion or a church split.....if it got that bad that I couldn't be apart of that "body" anymore, I would go graft myself onto another one (which, btw, I have never had to do).<BR/><BR/>Having said that....I also don't think I'm supposed to check my brain at the door. And I have always felt able to question. My mom always taught me that "God is not afraid of your questions" and I take great comfort in that.<BR/><BR/>I think it (for me) comes down to....Where does God want ME to be? Do I feel I am supposed to be a member of this particular church, even though I flat out disagree with many things that they believe? If the answer is yes, then I join.<BR/><BR/>And that is how I base that. Then once I've joined, I just take it from there.<BR/><BR/>I'm one of those people that thinks that if you can't study contributions to your faith from members of other denoms/beliefs, well, then, you perhaps are a CULT. Let us not be afraid to examine.<BR/><BR/>It's all about the BIG TENT. As long as you're under it, you're good to go. <BR/><BR/>But then again, perhaps I am also a heretic.<BR/><BR/>-Spunky<BR/><BR/>But that's just me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2852347546142066062.post-77507229202540717612008-11-11T22:44:00.000-06:002008-11-11T22:44:00.000-06:00Hmm, this would make both David and Rich Mullins n...Hmm, this would make both David and Rich Mullins new age heretics!Jen https://www.blogger.com/profile/04314083222417430656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2852347546142066062.post-34697630132860671662008-11-11T09:21:00.000-06:002008-11-11T09:21:00.000-06:00I think you must be right.I think you must be right.Lulaluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501024084791559805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2852347546142066062.post-72124206925489593822008-11-10T21:29:00.000-06:002008-11-10T21:29:00.000-06:00I'm still mostly convinced that denominations were...I'm still mostly convinced that denominations were a creation of the Devil to divide Christians even more than we already are.<BR/><BR/>I love that you've named it the Foster Debacle.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02791040769734469540noreply@blogger.com
