I don't have a problem with people challenging our doctrine. If it cannot withstand human questioning and scrutiny we should abandon it. I for one believe engaging in challenging discussions "sharpens" our positions and effiency in submitting answers to the vaious questions that can be posed. I have absotely NO QUESTION as to the veracity of our doctrine and positions. On the other hand, opposition to our doctrine is constantly evolving to produce different "angles" of scrutiny and questioning that we haven't encountered before. I think it's healthy to engage in dialogue with those who don't agree with us!

I agree with you. Perhaps a space can be set up for Oneness apologetics, kind of like Deep Waters....away from fellowship hall?

Is moving this thread a sign we can engage in Oneness apologetics or are is this thread being sequestered away from tender hearts?

I like the concept of having an area to be able to engage in doctrinal apologetics... I hope that doesn't mean we are being sequestered!
