Re: No Thanks, I Will Stay Old Time Pentecost

I once heard a wise saying concerning "structure". Be careful what you take out, cause you don't know what it's holding up.

Though I do feel like there has been some "teaching for doctorines, the commandments of men" over the past quite a few years I've been around pentecost. I believe there is some that could stand to be taken out as far as teaching them for commandment.

At the same time I enjoy reading, and greatly respect posts like Bro. Epleys.

If you have a set of plans for the building you know exactly which walls are load bearing walls, and which walls served a purpose for a time but can be removed during renovation.

We have a pretty good set of plans that tell us which walls are load bearing, the problem is that people fall in love with the decorative walls and don't want the building remodeled.

Fantastic analogy, Michael!
