These guys just can't ever admit it when they are wrong.

Ah. Neener-Neener Theology.

Still, it's an interesting discussion.

I guess the difference would be if you or I thought something contrary to what our church was teaching us, we'd search the Scriptures and be confident that the Holy Spirit would eventually lead us to the truth.

For others, to question their church is to be separated from the dispenser of God's grace -- a paralyzing and frightening specter for them. That fact alone should tell them those anxieties are not from God.

"Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart." -- Psalm 37:4

"And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind." -- John 9:39

Pity. It's so much easier than some people want to make it out to be.

"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved."

And that belief signifies a changed heart, new ears and new eyes, a life reborn in Christ, the fruits by which we are known.
