Bible Note: Joe Why debate history. We all know the Church is conservative and sometimes, slow to move. And, like very other Church, it's imperfect. The Church constantly renews itself and hopefully, for the better. I agree with a lot of what Luther said, I just didn't like the way he handled the debate and I agree with a lot of what the Church said, but I don't like the way the Church handled the debate. Together they caused a major split in the Church - which caused Christian to be pitted against Christian. In reality, they were both right and they were both wrong. But the truth of the matter is, that it happened 500 years ago. And there ain't nothing I can do about it except move forward with people like you, where we work together to establish mutual respect and acceptance. And, together, in our own way - help guide people to Jesus and God. Because the truth of the matter is when Jesus returns - all Churches will cease to exist and all that will be left are those that have a proper relationship with Jesus and those that don't. If we can do that, then I'd say we've done good. Brian |
