Just stay away from controlling leaders, regardless of the type of church.
peace,
Simon
My point was a bit deeper than that . I was going against a vestige of Catholicism that is still firmly rooted in so-called "protestant" thinking and prevalent in home group thinking , as well . |

A rather major thread clean up has occurred to remove all the flaming/goading posts. Try to keep your posts focused on the subject of the thread rather than making snarky rude comments at other members. ● Do not insult, belittle, mock, goad, personally attack, threaten, harass, or use derogatory nicknames in reference to other members or groups of members. Address the context of the post, not the poster. ● If you are flamed, do not respond in-kind. Alert staff to the situation by utilizing the report button. Do not report another member out of spite. MOD HAT OFF

The words I hold on tightly to during times of trouble: James 1; 2-4 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. |

Thank you
__________________ Pragmatism is the exact opposite of faith. Pragmatism says, "If it works, I'll accept and believe it." Faith says, "What I accept and believe is based entirely upon God's written Word, the Bible." Saying the body we receive after physical death is a renewed or ultimately healed body is incorrect, to the point of absurdity; equal to having a 1990 banged up Chevy, then receiving a 2011 Cadillac and telling people it's your Chevy after it was repaired.
