One of my son-inlaws made a statement about a month ago, he said, "dad you are so far ahead of us in understanding we are running to catch up". Thing is I don't want anyone to catch up, just to catch up. That is the problem with Christianity, as I see it. One sees a new truth and expects everyone to conform to that so called truth or be damned. I don't believe that is how God intended things to be. Because 90% of the so called truths, are one persons convictions and not true bible doctrine.

These so called bible doctrines range from the essentiality of water baptism, to whether a women can put on makeup or cut her hair. (putting myself out on a limb on that one) The only thing these things have done is cause division in the kingdom of God, we have become neo-Pharisees shutting up the kingdom of God that those that would come in cannot.

All because we are chasing the Myth of Orthodoxy!
