Bible Note: Doc, For what it's worth, I think your post was biblically sound and shows a godly wisdom. And the context and message was clear as I see it. In contrast, offering practices of a local church or something we enjoy doing as justification is neither biblical nor is there a hint of godly wisdom in it nor is this the measure of truth and godliness. I'm not debating the original question here nor do I take a position on the practice of the church in subject here but rather pointing out the danger in attempting to establish biblical truth based on what a local church practices. The practices and teachings of churches today are riddled with ungodliness and false teachings and certainly can't be trusted as our measure. Perhaps the mark in question is different all together therefore it only appears to some you have missed it :-) Steve |
