It is heartbreaking to a man who cares about people to see some who insist on re-inventing the wheel, not realizing that they aren't following some new path of divine revelation, but rather an old tried and true deception.

Sigh...this saddens me Bro. C.
I am not trying for a new revelation or trying to "reinvent the wheel", I simply want to get to know Jesus, and try to figure out why I should even want to follow him.
I thought that was a noble cause. You all make sound like if I really get to know Jesus, without focusing on the rules, that i will be lost. That saddens me. There seems to be no room in the apostolic church for questions or doubts, or even Jesus.
I could go back today, this moment. Stick myself back in the little box, start following all the rules, go to church 3 times a week, and be the perfect little apostolic saint, but without Jesus what in the world does that matter???
