I think having one Pastor may be the last thing on the line. Let’s take our generation, how many remember the big, “your going to hell if you have a television in your home!” Now, the whole lot of us have cell phones, in my opinion, are more addictive that T.V. Did we evolve into accepting what we used to preach would send us to hell?

Times change and so does our understanding. Here is the thing, we argue and fuss about things that really have nothing to do with our salvation. Take drinking wine and beer for instance, wine and beer was the drink of choice as late as the 15th and 16th centuries, not because you would get drunk (although you would if you drank enough of it) but clean water was such a rare commodity wine and beer were made to replace it. What do you think those Christians drake when they came across on the mayflower?
