Asking questions about biblical things doesn't mean one is underminding the pulpit, since we are created in God's image we have been given the ability to think and reason.
Bro. Scott,

Others may also be walking OUT of Godly tradition just because they can and it may not please God. All tradition is NOT wrong! It may be emphasized in an improper way by some but the tradition is not wrong because of this error on the part of the over emphasizer.

My dad ALWAYS had a Q&A box available for folks to anonymously submit questions they would like to hear answered on Wednesday night Bible studies. I think it is a pretty good idea!

I just noticed this post, so let me respond.

Real truth can stand up to any scholarly questioning and research.

When you research and find the believe to indeed be truth, the result is that you are stonger in your belief of that truth.

I believe the end result is more unity, but not in the way that you wish it would be.

Very good post. If you can hold a spotlight to truth (or an organization) and it stands, then it is solid. If not, then "truth" was never more then an illusion to begin with.

Here is the honest truth about why some question the Apostolic doctrine:

It makes no sense!

To them. Those who question it, I mean. Not that I question it!

Nothing like that where I came from Br Phil. If anybody ever got up the courage to question something, they got their head handed back to them on a silver plate.

So true , So true.... then that really makes you question because if one becomes so mad by you asking an honest heart felt question do they really know the answer?
