I do understand your point. We are all memebrs of the professing and Visible church and we need to consider that as we talk

But I have to say I am no ECT fan. There are some differences that can not be compromised even for political reasons .

I would say that when we meet on the political forum for the most part there is not a religious seperation and that is how it shoud be in our multi ethnic country . Christians have already been compromised. Today post modernism affects all Christian kids. I heard something like 85% believe there are no absolute rights or wrongs. That is something we have to take care of in our homes and churches cause the days of being a Judeo/Christian  Nation are gone.

All that being said the debate on doctrine is healthy and necessary if we are to continue to have religious freedom....if you not use it you loose it, We need to keep the right to have strong disagreements on doctrine and still salute the same flag

I think you misunderstand the grave and imperative nature of his TRUCE, Terry.

What have you folks done on the News forum lately to fight this paganization of the culture?

Be careful you're not making your vices into virtues: some hide out in the Religion Forum Ghetto, beating up on their fellow Christian, out of cowardice to engage the real battles of our time.

Some of us have been fighting the homosexual agenda on the News Forum, against severe opposition. Yet few of the folks obsessed with Christian internecine warfare on these Religion Forum ghetto threads would dare step foot in those real battles with evil, preferring instead to hide out here thinking their efforts are virtuous or are "doing the work of the Lord."

I find these arguments, that

There are some differences that can not be compromised even for political reasons...All that being said the debate on doctrine is healthy and necessary if we are to continue to have religious freedom....

to be nothing more than guilty rationalizations for not engaging the gravest battle of Christianity, substituting the vice of internecine Christian warfare for the virtue of fighting for Christ against a pagan society.
