Bible Note: Luis, thanks for your response. I visited the web site of Southeast Christian Church of Louisville, KY. I read the bios of the ministers, looked over the various programs of this large church, and studied their published statement which is remarkably close to the "Apostles' Creed." I found nothing bizarre or unusual on their web site -- nothing about selling all one has, or your mammon thing, or any of the other ideas you've expounded upon which some of your fellow users here on the Forum find quirky, to put it mildly! So where, Luis, did you pick up these ideas? Surely not from your pastor Bob Russell or from the mission statement of Southeast Christian Church. And how did you happen to choose this particular Forum as a vehicle by which to soapbox them? You're an interesting fellow, Luis, and I have no reason to doubt that you are sincere, but so help me I don't pretend to understand what little I know about you! :-) One little question before I wind this up. Do your peers at Southeast Christian share your ideas -- or do they see you as something of a maverick? --Hank |
