Far better than a rule that says "nothing can be rewritten that has been written." Apostates can really hide behind that.

Well I guess we have a fundamental difference of opinion.

I rather like the idea that a faithful believer should not need to abandon the ship to the pirates and head for the life boats. In my view of things, the ship of Jesus Christ always repels boarders.....eventually......after a fight, and it's the brigands who depart.

I also believe that apostates are emboldened by the idea that everything can be changed by a simple vote and sufficient lobbying and advertising. It's simply saying that the Church is yours for the taking......given the right degree of planning and strategy.

I'm more for the "Moses model".

He descended from the mountain with the commandments engraved in stone, not written in erasable crayon.

I try not to confuse my summation of historic Christianity with the inspired Word of God.
