For those of you that have the whole truth

Aside from that, how much fun would this be if we all believed the exact same thing, without some variance of opinion to keep us discussing scripture, this forum would die.

For instance, Aquila didn't post much if at all yesterday, and I missed him. Sometimes when I read his posts I want to fuss at him for some of the things he says. But when he is not around I miss him.

Sorry Aquila, not meaning to pick on you, but that is the example that came to mind.

And yes, thank God for Prax, I think his voice keeps the forum from going off the deep end sometimes. Maybe that is just my opinion, but it seems that way to me.

There is always more we can learn and if we just hole up with our own little group and don't listen to others then we miss out on possibly learning more.

If you were to go to a far more conservative board such as Everyone's Apostolic, you would find griping galore -all aimed at the reprobate sinners on boards such as this and those who would question the local pastors wishes. The more things change......

I am perhaps the least biblically literate person here and the very few times I have posted any sort of study (years ago) it has taken me hours to post what others seem to come up here in mere minutes, only to have it brushed off in a single sentence or two. I have better things to do with my time (but I DO enjoy reading what others write). I like to think that I bring a common-sense viewpoint. It is amazing to see how silly many doctrines are when one steps back a few feet and sees the big picture. Not only are some unable to see the forest for the trees but they are unable to even see the tree because their looking too closely at the bark.
