Subject: Is there anyone else who has input? |
Bible Note: EdB, Am I "into defensive mode" as you put it, when all I did was ask Steve to post proof of his assertions? It was not I who made these assertions; therefore, it is not my burden to defend anything. Is it acceptable to make general statements of something so weighty as this, i.e., that most churches are wrong about worship, without offering one iota of factual datum to support the claim? Conversely, is it inacceptable to ask for proof? Do I need to "cool down" because I dared challenge such a statement? I'm not angry, not hot under the collar, and not motivated by anything sinister that is designed to show anyone up or put anyone down. But a statement such as this given, as it was, without any proof is a statement without power to convince. --Hank |
