What a straw dog.
EVERY church I've ever been in of all varieties has had a method, feature, emphasis--whatever one wants to call it along those lines--that made them distinctive or attempted to make them distinctive from the unwashed worse congregations outside THEIR walls.
Often times the dictinctions were brazen and loudly proclaimed. Sometimes they were subtle but ruthlessly rigid and exclusionary, cliquish.
And probably 70-90% of those churches would claim to
ONLY BE TEACHING GOD'S WORD pure and unadulterated.
Hogwash.
All preachers are human. All put their spin on it. ALL THEIR SPIN IS NOT PURE. In 60 years, I've NEVER seen a 100% pure preacher put 100% Holy Spirit spin on plain teaching of Scripture.
Some are worse than others. But all are human.
I find the assertion a huge straw dog to the point of absurdity and a phoney declaration.
