Church only gets complicated when people say there are things in the bible that are not there... I could handle one where that doesn't happen.
I have heard people say things that are not in the Bible all the time. Some things are very minor and some things are major. Are you being nitpicky or are you talking about major salvational issues? Because it's rare to find a preacher that sticks to the scriptures completely and doesn't add or take away a little here and there especially if they are relating something by memory instead of turning to and reading the passage.

Then there are different interpretations. There is an active thread on the GNC right now "Jesus is God?". Many different views on that one statement.

So what are the complicated things people say that keep you out of church?

Hmmmm.... that sounds interesting. I once asked if people have started worshiping the Name of Jesus instead of God -- not at GNC, though.

I already wrote one long post today, what do you want from me? You're asking me to write something where every single bullet point would have to turn into its own topic. lol.

I do better at long posts in the mornings, but my post would probably generate more "attack on pentecost" type of threads so I am not sure if I should do it at all.
