As long as you do not denigrate my God and my beliefs. Valid questions, concerns, input are fine. Opinions can be ok, as long as the opinions do not denigrate; IE, I believe Calvin to be in error because the scripture says such and such. Not- Calvin and everybody who believe his tripe are stupid because my church says differently.

***There are many people here who seem to refer to their own personal god made in their own personal image while making up their own personal theologies.***

This is an example of what I consider going near the edge. When you use words like “seem” you are putting your own slant on what they are saying, in some cases totally misconstruing the context of their post.

[MarkBsnr]

When people privately interpret Scripture; hunting and pecking verse in order to construct a theology that is different from all previous theologies, it seems to me that this is constructing one’s own personal god.

I may misconstrue some posts; I am not perfect. I hope that I am misconstruing more since they depart from what I consider to be core Christian beliefs.

But I know that I am not misconstruing some that are highly objectionable both to the Church and to Christianity in general.
