Exactly, and what happens in a church or denom where the difference is doctrine? They split to preserve peace and both sides for if they stay together divided they will fall. That is why I wonder why some push so hard to maintain this insanity.
Sometimes sarcasm is begged for. Sometimes it is needed.As I said in the past, your sarcasm is well-known.
You said she admitted that WoF was divisive, but what she admitted was that many people do see WoF as divisive. She did not say that they were divisive, just that "many" people see it as such.
Which is why I often wonder if people can read.
People simply post what they believe, and you call it "divisive".
Sometimes sarcasm is begged for. Sometimes it is needed.
In this case... it is a requirement.
Again, I can read. I stand by my original comment that she admits that WoF is divisive. Or do you think people are seeing something that's not there?
Here is logic for you.
I like peas... you like potatoes.
We disagree... so a division exists.
Since I like peas, peas must be divisive.
This is a perfect example of the kind of logic that questions WoF teaching.
If you have seen the movie "Idiocracy" you must know that we do not have to wait 500 years...
It is here now.
Dont you think that after five years of this and no0 end in sight that something else is called for. This truly is insanity to keep going like thisIts not about "like" at all.
Its about doctrinal differences. Doctrinal from man's point of view, interpretations can go many different directions. We can learn from others who believe such doctrines and examine our own.
nicely done, pete!
She said that many people see WoF as divisive.
She did not admit that WoF is divisive. She admitted that many people think that it is. It's really not that difficult to see the difference.
But let me try to illustrate the difference further. Read the following statement closely, and see if you can determine my feelings about chocolate ice cream from it;
"Many people think chocolate ice cream is disgusting."
Did I just admit that chocolate ice cream is disgusting? Not quite. I just acknowledged that many people think it is. You have no idea what I think about chocolate ice cream from that statement.
Do you see the difference now?
We are talking about beliefs being divisive.
So let's pretend an extremist political party get elected to parliment. Many may agree with their policies and many may disagree, but that - like icecream - is irrelevant, because it's the fact that they are seen as extreme that makes them divisive.
Well I'll just say that I've no idea what to do with the lot of you
But actually I still don't really know what would be best here.
I think this is what I want or need now: I'd like everyone to make one final post laying out what *you* would like to see happen, or think should happen. I encourage you all to post. Or, if you'd rather keep your thoughts private, you can PM me and I'll gather your opinions but can leave your name out if any suggestions are taken up with others and all that.
I'll take all those posts and gather them up and go off and see what comes up. I'm not promising any changes one way or the other.
