Would you agree that this is the case with all of us? Even though we are in a given denomination?Bob, it would be more accurate for me to say that for those aspects of the Christian Faith or the Bible which I didn't have a clear understanding earlier on, I have a better but as yet still incomplete understanding now.
In my case, I've had a bit of a different journey in traversing through the Christian faith where I wasn't so much looking for "the right denomination" as I was simply looking for answers as to 'why' I could think any of it to be true. What this means is that while I've done a lot of research, my overall view hasn't shifted in position much from where it began; instead it has grown where it was all along.
No doubt few to none of us would claim that we know all of infinite Truth.For my part, and although I could be wrong, I don't think any of us has enough overall information to know with certainty that our commitments we may each make to a specific denomination's theological statements fully attain to some notion we have of "The Truth."
But the elephant in the living room - has to do with the obvious fact that there are a many contradictory view between groups and so it is not possible that all are right. At most one is... at worst none are. That is the simple fact of it.
The idea that you never changed any of your doctrinal positions but rather have only doubled down with more detail on the ones you started with -- is quite a statement.
