There is no discussion about our beliefs either because they come from the Bible. I am 71 and have never been in a church where beliefs were discussed. Everyone knows that if the Bible says it. it is true. I do not know where you get these nutty ideas. Let’s see: I have been to Assembly of God, Baptists, Church of God, Church of God of Prophecy, Church of Christ, independents, Methodists, etc. I do not remember people ever discussing what the beliefs should be. Back when I was a kid, no minister went to any seminary. They were called by God and led by the Holy Spirit and they were some of the best teachers I have ever heard. May they all RIP.
I have nutty ideas? Hey, that’s getting personal; your post oughta be removed.
Sorry, the Church has a long tradition of intellectual discussion and debate. You must know that because you’re on these posts day and night. Some of that I see as a continuation of the Jewish tradition of discussion and debate (and debate and debate).
