Here is their response.

TheStarswillFall,

Thank you for sharing both these letters in their entirety. It's such strong proof of the true weakness of the foundation of the core doctrines in the local church. In reading your letter, I was struck by your thoughfulness, respectfulness, and care to be on biblical basis. When contrasted right next to their response, the difference is astounding. Right away they resort to schoolyard tactics: YOU have a critical concept, YOUR questioning has spoiled you and your wife's church life, YOU have disturbed the normal church life, YOU harbor negative views.

But they didn't provide a single shred of justification for anything they said! They didn't address any concern you brought up, and simply labeled you and then shunned you - on a COUNTRY-WIDE basis! How weak a belief they hold if genuine-hearted concern causes them to shudder this much and slam the doors in your face.

Thankful you've been saved out of such a place, and that many more are on their way out.
