-— just because you asked an entity to pray to God doesn’t mean the entity will, or the entity is what you think it is -—
Unless Christ’s Church, “the pillar and foundation of truth,” confirms sainthood.
Can you tell me more about the church’s claim to be “pillar and foundation of truth”?
As Crazy Evangelicals we beg to differ. We view our (and your) rightful role as being messengers. Never dictators. It’s only logical anyhow; you can’t get any truth unless it’s from God. You and I can’t “make” truth. We propose and God disposes. When walking hand in hand with God it is the same thing. But it’s possible NOT to walk hand in hand.
Part of that could also be a matter of perspective. In which case we say that there is a Crazy Evangelical part of the church and a Roman Catholic part of the church. Both bearing their roles, but imperfectly yet.
Anyhow, the church at large is how truth gets expressed and borne into the world. You folks as a “denomination” are assuming that in your current incarnation you are getting everything you call truth right. We dissent about that. We try to be careful on our side too, but sometimes we slip and the slips keep us from getting overwhelmed with pride. We believe in the end there will be no denominations, only one united church. Nobody will care whether a saved Christian in heaven had been a Baptist or a Catholic or an Orthodox etc.
