Getting hurt is part of the process. When we ask The Lord to be like Him then we must have fellowship with His sufferings. Truthfully even at our best we hurt and disappoint people. If we are not careful we expect more of others than we do ourselves. If we learn from our hurts we are better for it if not we have to have the same lesson again. I try to pass the test the first time. taking the test again ain't fun.

Getting hurt is definitely part of the process. We do all need to learn the lesson at some point. Sometimes you can remove yourself from a situation you don't need to be in, when those in authority are having trouble passing that test.

What exactly are saints to do if their church is wallowing in false doctrine? Stay anyway?
And how is this any different than catholics staying true to their church "warts and all"?
I ask this seriously. I know thereare people who church hop for wrong reasons but not everyone who is "unchurched" is that way because of stupid carnal reasons.

Thankfully in my life, I've never had to deal with a "church is wallowing in false doctrine", so I can't answer. And then we have to define "false doctrine" which for some covers everything from singing out of a song book to divorce.

How would they know if a church teaches false doctrine? If you disagree with something your pastor says, who's right and who's wrong?
I think that it is good to disagree sometimes as long as it is solidly built upon scripture. Too many times people are coming to conclusions about God without searching the scripture. I encourage people to disagree with me if they have scriptural points, but most want to only give a opinion that is developed soley through personal philosophy.
I think that people should respect their elders, but not be led blindly. I don't want to be a yes man, but I want to be a person who will support truth. We need to be respectful, but no ignorant.
taking the test again ain't fun.
