The Christian journey involves the constant pursuit of Truth....
And what about those who have completely abandoned the "constant pursuit of Truth" and been responsible for outright frauds - like some of the folks in your blog roll?
Since when were you such a "stick to the topic" thread nazi, frogger?

LOL. Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
I was hoping that maybe I could be a peacemaker and get to be called a child of God that way
Michlow is free to respectfully post her statements of a "questioning" nature on this Apostolic board. You of course are free to respectfully post a reply, but being so dismissive isn't particularly helpful, neither to Michlow nor to anyone who may be lurking and asking the same questions.
I'm not competing for any "awards" but I do find something in Michlow's experiences that are kindred to my own. When I was tossed from my position of Apostolic holiness and right standing, I ended up questioning everything.
The faith that I had been raised to possess seemed to be false if I were to pursue moral righteousness. Yet, remaining "faithful" and "obedient" meant pursuing a course of at least implicit immorality. So, to be righteous I had to leave "the faith."
Those were the circumstances that I was faced with. It was as if God Himself didn't want me to be a part of "His church" and "He" forced me out by demanding that I become unrighteous by staying.
In time, of course, I came to find a bigger God than the one I was limiting myself to previously. But He had to completely destroy my "faith" in that "smaller God" to allow me to find the bigger One.
I don't know what the "bigger God" is doing in Michlow's life right now, but I wouldn't want to mess with Him.
How can you be immoral by being faithful and obedient? Do you mean being faithful and obedient to a minister or to the word of God? please explain

Proverbs 15:31-32 "The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise. He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding."
The Christian journey involves the constant pursuit of Truth. If you are an agnostic then why are you on this Christian forum? Just curious since agnostics typically believe truth is unknown or unknowable. It is lost somehow. Which is it for you? Unknown or unknowable?
I am not trying to be offensive Michlow. I rarely post on forums these days but was stirred by your use of Descarte and then your conclusion about being agnostic. Descartes quote does not affirm agnosticism either. I am NY right now so I'll check back in later.
