Nobody I asked even wanted to discuss it. They were all afraid of being either being wrong or being quoted. There's some real disconnects when it comes to some of our pet doctrines and the Bible. John 3:5 is another example. Acts 2:15 is a doozy. |

You are correct! There are some real disconnects in some of the scripture versus our "pet doctrines'. I've got a list that I'm going to go through for the next few days and see if we can't bring some honesty to our positions. I don't want to seem presumptuous but some time ago I declared war on ignorance! I'm weary of blind, unquestioning, people who refuse to think.
