Bible Note: I appreciate your concern in your attempts to correct what you believe is erroneous doctrine. However, with all due respect and as much as I would like to agree in order to preserve a common viewpoint, I am unable to on the basis of your judgment regarding what does or does not agree with scripture. Advocates of the Watchtower would advise me the same way upon the basis of what they judge to be divine revelation. However, I am responsible to hear God and act according to the dictates of my conscience before him. If I have erred, I trust his voice will tell me where I have gone wrong (it would not be the first time). In the meantime, we (Father and I) discuss the issue from time to time and seem to be basically on the same page for now. As such, it seems my view does not so much conflict with the Bible as it seems to do with your judgment of what is a correct understanding of it. In any case, thank you for the advice. |
