Bible Note: Al, A point of reference is in order here. You are being way too general in your criticism of protestant churches! Please don't lump ALL protestant churches in with the TBN nonsense or equate ALL of us with preaching the "social gospel". It just isn't the case. For example, our church is very fundamental with regards to the authority of scripture, etc. Further, our pastor is very humble and Christ-centered. We don't worship him. Worthy is the Lamb, not the sheep!He's a man with a calling to pastor a flock. Would it be fair to say that ALL Catholics worship and pay homage to the Pope? Al, it is extrememly condescending to imply that we've all been duped by being "lied to and deceived". Some have for sure, but I wouldn't lump every last protestant or even most of us in this category. That is ridiculous, to say the least! When you use terms like "most" and "all", I have to wonder if that's based on any meaningful experience you've had or are you viewing TBN exclusivley to get your facts?! Al, not ALL Protestant Churches are pits of "man-centered" theology and preaching that you make them out to be. Please be a bit more judicious in your comments! If we were to look at the speck in someone else's eye instead of the log in our own, we might incorrectly assume that the Cathlic Church is full of pedophiles and child-molesters! Would that be a fair assessment? I think not. If these are indeed your "only true and honest observations", you need to be a bit more observant! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
