Response by awareness:
Sounds like a Roman Catholic answer to me. Have you resorted back to your cradle religion?
There's interesting middle gorund that could be explored between these two arguments. Should we accept everything that the historical chusrch has put out over the past 2000 years? Should we reject Roman Catholicism carte blanche?
To me both positions are too extreme. But I don't agree with shutting down the discussion without discussing the alternatives. Once we leave the local churches all roads are open. But which one[s] should we take? Discussing such matters might be germaine to the mission of this website. Yes? |
The only path we should take is the narrow one that leads to life, it is the one that few find, it is the one that leads to the cross, it is the one that we would never choose, but it is the one that the Lord will lead us to. Just ask Awareness.
