Re: [TruthTalk] Please hear me out before ousting me.

I resemble that. Unfortunately I had to drink the whole gallon before realizing it was sour -- it's kind of like ether, though, once you've had it in you, it only takes a whiff to remind you why you don't like it. It was the GRACE of GOD issued to me through a caring pastor and a slow summer that finally broke me out of the prison they're in. The churches of Christ border on a cult, blow on them oh so easy and they're over the edge. I find, however, that any group which cuts fellowship with other believers is prone to paranoia, prejudice, and pride. Truth is communal in this sense. The problem is, the Christian community is much larger than will fit inside a set of walls. It takes the whole Church to preserve the Truth. Cut yourself off from the communal aspect of Faith and you've stepped away from truth.   Bill  ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2004 11:09 PM Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Please hear me out before ousting me.
