Do you think Two Church services a month is enough?

You think they could see that past the cut hair and TV watching habits?



And teach them to believe that God only loves you if you measure up?

I wash my hands. There really is no more point in dialog here other than to cast negative innuendos on anyone that does not believe like you do

Prax, if there is one thing I am convinced of it's that this divide is gonna grow wider and wider as the years go by.

It is certainly not my intention to "cast negative innuendos on anyone who does not believe" like me. In fact, my only goal is to have the freedom to follow my own convictions rather than be forced to accept the convictions of others or else be threatened with eternal hellfire.

I sincerely respect your right and the right of everyone who disagrees with me, to do just that, disagree. I certainly don't have all the answers. What I do have is a lot of questions. Questions that I don't believe can be successfully answered by men. There is too much disunity, too much contention, too much disagreement. I don't really believe that they have the answers.

It is the One who has the answers that concerns me.

If I have ever implied that because I disagree with the current church model, and its mode of leadership, or its focus on certain areas, and therefore that means that everyone MUST do things my way, then I here and know apologize for such arrogance. That is not at all my intention. As humans we are different, with different personalities and different way of doing things. If that method works for you, and all those in your church. Then that is great and I pray the Lord blesses your work.

But I know that there are hundreds and thousands like me. For whom that model and that method does not work. Many who have given up completely, frustrated with what they view as the superficiality of it all. They want something more. Everyone always talks about how transparent I am. Well that is what I want from those I fellowship with. I am transparent because I have no tolerance for guile or justification, I want to get right down to the issue. To me I get frustrated because I feel like I am wasting time with unessentials.

I take the time to explain all this, because your original statement is how I often feel about those on your side of the issue, and I know how frustrating that is, and the last thing I want to do is to be that same source of frustration to others.
