His point isn't to have an article posted under "Devotional." His point is to encourage gracious discourse when it comes to Christian leaders who practice their faith differently from you.
We really do need to stop the knee-jerk hatred toward high-profile Christian leaders.
Are Freepers being influenced unduly by TV sitcoms, that mock high-profile Christians? Are we being influenced by the MSM that mocks them? We can do better than that.
I was telling of the new mod's stated position about "devotional" threads.
That would provide SOME relief from the constant bickering on normal threads. I don't think you'll get away from that. Just my opinion, of course, but I think denominationalism and a host of personal issues further the bickering.
I think it's basically ego and the heart of man, Theo.
I felt long ago when I was asking God about all the denominational splits . . . that His reply was that it had nothing to do with theology--that the theological justifications and rationalizations were ego driven excuses for pride/relationship/psychology issues between the bretheren involved at the time.
I've observed since then, that in virtually every church conflict etc. I've been around, that was the case.
