Here we go again,
From heresy to unsound doctrine and the perennial question: "What church would Paul use if he wrote a check 2000 years ago!
To address the latter, sorry but the Bible trumps the current financial system, so it cannot be said, you cannot do that because how could we write a check? It would actually be a wonderful thing for me, as I write a check addressed to the church in (city) .... and it gets cashed! Too bad, it would nice to get credit for the effort but to not have it drawn against my account.
(For some reason I think I'm having a flashback and I'm using someone elses example from a previous forum; sorry if there are any similarites.)
From heresy to unsound doctrine is not just hair splitting, as heresy is a pretty serious charge and that is what I reacted to; but I will meet you somewhere in between, not on the ground of unsound doctrine, but on the basis its just not right to declare a church in a city, unless all in that city are in agreement; its not unsound doctrine, its just not true.
Thats as much as I want to say about this, as I do not want to appear to be a defender of the local church ground, I only want to clarify deceptive statments that do not hold water.
