Do you ever feel drawn to share worship or at least your interests with others? To be with a religious community in that sense and other ways?

Just what is it you believe we have been doing on this thread? I don't believe in a corporate Body of Christ and am naturally suspicious of doctrines of men.....and their organizations.

Thank you for your thoughts about my dog. The prognosis is good....the recovery time, about a month. She needs basic help with her hygiene at this point.

The internet isn't to replace community.

I'm suspicious of university institutions, but they do have some good teachers.

I think there is great value in church, both for teaching and community and sharing worship and each other's trials and triumphs. I think community is a necessary part of our faith.

Our faith must be made real by each person individually, but sometimes I get them impression that some feel this means they have to re-invent Christianity; it's already been done.

Unless your intention is to start a new religion.

thanks for your reply; hope you pet is doing well..

Can I ask why you do or don't accept works such as the Protevangelion of James in your Bible?
