I think it is entirely possible that there may have been some differences of intent among the original six, that were ultimately worked out and unified in a single direction.
A changed mind isn't the same as a lie.
And as for where my consistency is?
I don't recall ever saying that I was totally without inconsistency. I don't know anyone who is, really. I tend to agree with Emerson on "a foolish consistency."

CS,
I do want to express one thing because I feel a bit torn. I'm not reflecting so much on any opposing side. I'm just looking back over 20 years and remembering experiences with more conservative churches and those that were not so much.
I found good and bad in them all. I found God in them all.
Sometimes it just seemed that the harder the Conservative the less patient and more judgmental.
Then there were those that were more liberal and you become annoyed because it seemed to trample on the more decent things that we needed to represent as God's people.
So, I'm looking at both and knowing that only our personal desires and relationship will give us direction for our own personal lives and get us to heaven in the end. I can only follow or stay where God leads me. I can't be worried what others are going to do.
