hundreds that read this very forum and dare not weigh in for a multitude of reasons ... including fear of repercussions from their religious peers
This is why some of the other gladiators in the arena of ideas have left their positions here as their influence to shape discussion has withered in the vine....
and whine about not being heard, respected or tolerated ... when in their circles divergent discussion is squashed, ridiculed and vilified
Many have realized their views on outward holiness are not salvific but rather an issue of conviction ....
others have realized falsehoods about doctrine and holiness that have been perpetuated for decades and are now reading, researching and sharing their findings online, blogging, in other forums, homes and churches.
I have no problem w/ this is my conviction as long as it's taught that way ... truly.
There are individual hills to be WON ... and some of us will pursue those relentlessly with THE TRUTH.
SINCE TRUTH MATTERS.

I totally understand the passion you feel to raise the truth as you see it, DA! I just believe that the Spirit of the Lord is the one who will change the hearts and opinions of men, not endless debates.
You're still a good guy in my book either way!
