I find it hilarious that simply because you don't agree with me on certain things, that you find it "okay" to attack my church and post blogs from people who feel the same as you do. Why not truly be "balanced", and get some blogs on people who find nothing but positive things to say? All you have done is shown ONE side, yours, not the other side. This is not balance, this is an attack, plain and simple.
Do you demonstrate the same "balance?"jenna wrote:I have thought about that, and do appreciate your patience. My point was to B.W. that to remain balanced, why put only arguments AGAINST the church, instead of both sides? That is a true "balance".
Yes, at Least I try to. I do not attack others for their beliefs, or post websites or anything that verbally attacks the way they believe. I listen and respond. I don't agree sometimes, obviously, but I have NEVER called someone "heretical", or their beliefs.Canuckster1127 wrote:Do you demonstrate the same "balance?"jenna wrote:I have thought about that, and do appreciate your patience.

I'll take a closer look at the RCB website and see if I agree with that statement then.jenna wrote:Yes, at Least I try to.

This particular quote struck me as odd, not so much because it states God is family but that the implication is more than we are God's children and as such, are already part of his family, but that God intends to expand his family, implying that we are to become a bunch of little gods or that we have achievable god-like potential (a touch of scientology perhaps?).jenna wrote:What is "Armsstrongism"?

God and Christ enjoy perfect harmony and agreement in everything they do, reflecting perfect outgoing concern, love and cooperation. Scripture reveals that the Father is the supreme leader of a Family that both He and Christ (the Word) have chosen to expand by adding future members!
Traditional Christianity has long been ignorant of this truth, believing instead that God is a trinity—a closed off three-in-one Being who cannot be expanded to include other members. History shows that the trinity concept thrived in ancient pagan religions that existed thousands of years before Jesus Christ built His Church on Pentecost, AD 31. Historical records also prove that this ancient “three-in-one” idea, along with other pagan teachings, was grafted into the visible face of professing Christianity.
