Blainer) Unfortunately, Carroll, this same reasoning can be applied to
Protestant religions, as they teach various mixtures of scriptural truth
and man-made philosophies. It almost seems as if Satan has many
doctrines and authorities so as to allow each person to choose something
that best fits his personal viewpoint--a "something for everybody"
shotgun approach. This same philosophy pervades the film industry as
they produce formula films which have a little homosexuality for the
gays, a little female nudity for the boys, a little male nudity for the
girls, a little violence for the teens, a little partying for the
fun-junkies, a little rough language for the tough-guys, etc. etc. Take
Care, see ya in SLC!! I will try to see you on Saturday, OK? Thanks
again for the invitation.
