Subject: But can we answer the question? |
Bible Note: And thus, with a simple dismissive statement, we trivialize the question. I did not ask what we like “or dislike” about the church. I tried as hard as I could to frame the question so as to solicit only positive comments. Those comments, meanwhile, may come from statements in the word of God. We do not have to “dabble in the hypothetical, the philosophical, and perceived”. But you folks are so predictable now, it is almost like a self-fulfilling prophecy, or the power of suggestion. Or maybe there is such a ting as reverse psychology. Predict, state, suggest, express a fear that you will go off on a tangent, and that is exactly what you do. But I like this forum. I have talked about its potential. One aspect of it I like is the tree-like format of the thing. We can make this part a tangent end and stretch it out. Or we can get to the higher level and actually answer the question. I challenge us to make a choice here. Stay on this tangent and discuss these things. Say some more about how much you dislike what you perceive as “the hypothetical, philosophical, and the perceived … invading the church”, or rise to the higher level and answer the question. And please do not say what you dislike. Search the scriptures for the beauty of the church, and tell the world how you like it. |
