I just want him to search out scriptures for what they are really saying and not what someone else has told him.

He wants to pastor someday. He will run into people who will challenge him more than I am, I promise you.

Alex, thanks for being a good sport on this thread. I've been hard on you, but not because I'm trying to prove how youthful and stupid you are. I have a son not much younger than you who will be preaching a message to his church this next Wednesday. I'd hate for someone to bully him, thinking he's young and dumb, but I do want someone to challenge him to study and not just think the Bible says something because the pastor or elder told him it does.

I stand fully behind what I said.
