It's ironic that a conservative website would have a forum dominated by a liberal church. We can only hope that the conservatives in it will change the organization's culture, but I'm not hopeful. They reject the absolute authority of Scripture and instead believe their hierarchy has that power, not unlike liberals wanting govt to have absolute power.

AMEN!

But sadly, all liberalism is similar. Those who so easily cast off the authority of the written words of Scripture just as easily cast off the authority of the written words of the Constitution.

Same error.

"Bible in hand, I proclaimed that "the absolute and final authority in all matters of faith and morals is the Bible, God's own Word."

Three days later, the archbishop of Vancouver, B.C., James Carney, called me to his office. I was then officially silenced and forbidden to preach in his archdiocese."

And because Romans 8:28 is mercifully true and miraculously consistent, that seemingly unhappy event led to the author's departure from Rome and into the pure light of the Gospel.

As God willed. A happy ending.

I'm sure most adults understand that one is exponentially more important than the other, but I'm also sure you will be accused of equating type of govt with salvation somewhere on this thread. ;-)

The point can't be made enough. The man became Born Again because he read the Scriptures and believed!

And because Romans 8:28 is mercifully true...

Amen.
