It is WRONG to high-jack a thread and talk about whatever you want. I would never do that.

It's like the trinity. Everyone thinks they know the other's persin's theology.

I didn't. My response had everything to do with controlling churches. I was expressing why I thought it controlling to discourage members from ever visiting a church that still needed more truth.

Don't explain and don't worry about it Originalist. It doesn't matter what you post. Ms Emma will find a way to tell you how unholy you are.

I fed her roadkill for dinner and she probably thinks that the roadkill was more holy than I.

The first would be a teaching that there is actually a scriptural formula to always be ahead financially as a divine right and never face financial hardship.

The second is a man centered message that is designed to appeal to the masses.

I see where you're coming from here.......to play Devil's Advocate, is there any scripture that says a Christian SHOULD face financial hardship?

And, as far as a man-centered message, I don't see being purpose driven as man-centered.....Jesus was purpose driven......what makes the difference is what your purpose is.....

Again, just for discussion........

It wouldn't take much for roadkill to be holier than you are.
