I couldn't believe some of the things people were saying. People like different kinds of fruit so we should have different ways for different people to come to God! That is when I realized how far the PCUSA had fallen.<br /><br />I am also remembering how hard the ACWC fought at the last GA to keep a commissioners resolution, which insisted on diverse theologies in committees, from passing. They couldn’t stand the thought that those who were orthodox in faith might be a part of their committee.Viola Larsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09146967423654966140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560220615271337359.post-33988412743301934312012-05-22T11:02:37.051-07:002012-05-22T11:02:37.051-07:00Kyriarchy?

Not only are we going back to "Re-imagining" days, we are also back to the 2001 GA, when 4 hours of "debate" could not move the PCUSA to affirm the sole saving Lordship of Jesus Christ. Thanks, Viola, for not letting this fly under the radar, as so much ACWC stuff already does. If we fudge on the Lordship of Christ we are denying much more than the power of a single word. If we may not say, "Jesus Christ is Lord," we are giving up on the core affirmation of Christian faith. Words do indeed matter, but so does logical reasoning about the potential consequences of this kind of folly.

Jesus made this happen all the time and it was very upsetting to this disciples (for example John 6). There is an opposition between us and God and understanding our angers are a part of our healing and our salvation.dennistheeremitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10801567321734091885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560220615271337359.post-56033235363970219132012-05-22T09:47:30.350-07:002012-05-22T09:47:30.350-07:00Pastor Dennis,

They found the evidence that the language was "exclusive" and they reached out to redress the situation.dennistheeremitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10801567321734091885noreply@blogger.com
