I want to say more in addition to my previous post. There is a difference between disagreeing and mocking arrogance. Past Christians have disagreed with their churches. The Pilgrims separated from the Church of England, to start a purer form in N. America. The Puritians decided to stay within the C of E., to reform it, (Purify, hence their name) until they were forced to leave by the leaders of the C of E. and come to N America. You can stay or leave if you disagree, but mocking arrogance of Christianity pushed the LC over the line for me. When I heard about ISIS martyring the Coptic (Egyptian) Christians recently, I decided to visit the Coptic (Egyptian Orthodox) Church near me and give them some brotherly solidarity. What was I told? They were comforted that those Coptic Christians would not deny Christ and were martyred instead....They loved not their lives unto death!!! And the LC says this is degraded Christianity? LCers get over yourselves. We are all equal in Christ. No one is better than the next. And there is plenty of room for different styles of worship or service. If Christians believe in the basics (Nicene creed), there is then liberty for how we approach God. I'm not going to put God in a box. ...and I dare anyone in the LC to go up to one of the Coptic Christians I have met and call them degraded Christianity! These are my brothers and sisters in Christ and I am humbled by them.
