And I welcome Dr. McMahon's zeal for acting in accordance with what his research and introspection leads him to believe to be true, even possibly to his own detriment.
But, that being said, I will say that I find the splintering of protestant churches into different sects to generally be based on rather trivial, inconsequential grounds. Inconsequential in the grander, Christian theme, at least.
Internal debate and dissent in such matters is clearly warranted, but I don't the implications of these theological differences really constitute enough to divide us into separate factions.
And I hope we can all see that there are enemies inside and outside he Church against whom we cannot afford to be distracted by our own bickerings. The battle rages.
***Personally, I'm just happy to encounter churches that do not advocate, tacitly approve, or internally suffer from sexually deviant practices.***
My last church screened all people who taught in it for sexual predators and we did find a few who did try to get in. We also invited those who were in open sexual immorality to immediately repent or they were placed under church discipline and invited not to return until the repented. I'm not sure what kind of church you attend that doesn't take steps to get the sick deviants out of it, but I'd suggest you leave such a church immediately. Obviously, if that church is not going to protect her members, then she is clearly a part of the problem.
In the service of the Lord,
Christian.
And can you name one large church where this is the case?
