Well, Rebelbase, believe it or not I'm glad to have had this discussion. The gears in my brain get rusty and I like to think about what I believe and why, and you've made me seek out a lot of things I only half-remembered.
Do you agree that our dispute is on whether the Bible is the only teaching authority Jesus (or really, the Holy Spirit)left on earth, and which set of authorities we feel is best suited to help us understand it? As you probably can guess, I believe the Church is a teaching authority too, and I doubt we'll mend fences over that one. Still, I hope we can still stand shoulder to shoulder on a lot of issues confronting us in the modern world.
Best wishes and sincere respect for the ardour of your faith,
