Re: Con-to-Lib "Hybrid" Churches: Let's be Honest

Which is why more and more I'm inclined to believe these guys should be planting new churches instead of steering a Titanic around, resulting in heavy casualties.
I'm not impressed with whiners who complain about stumbling blocks. I used to be. But a guy from the church I used to attend believed that eating pork was wrong and he'd make an issue whenever we all went out to eat or whenever we had a church function involving food. It almost got to the point where people were afraid to eat pork or ham around him for fear of being a stumbling block. I got an attitude and said, "He needs to toughen up." I made a ham sandwich and purposefully sat down next to him and starting eating. He would barely look at me and tried to act all "offended". Get real.

Anyway... lol

I think these churches are in trouble because they were taught more about standards than being taught how to identify REAL sin. For example, let me ask you... what is "Sin"? Can you tell me?
