It is eastern thought/relgion seeping in to the church.

And it just might be the irreconsilable difference between us. I reject that completlely. There is "a hill worth dying on" where Truth is concerned.

This is exactly that hill. I can respect your right to the choices youve made. But we wont agree on this. To me this view is a mixture of light and darkness. That is strange brew that leads folks back to what God callled them out of.

Fair enough. We agree to disagree. But for the record, I do believe there is one absolute truth. What I don't believe is that you (or I) know what it is yet from our limited perspective. It's like stating a fact without all the necessary information. As a result, we have hundreds of denominations with a bunch of people putting little stakes in the ground along the way so they can say they "stand for something." I am comfortable knowing that I don't (and can't) know the big picture. That does not make me any less committed to what I believe. But it does make me cautious of who I condemn to hell.
