Point is, though, this isn't a church where we are supposed to accept any teaching uncritically and then be eternally thankful for it. There are no real boundaries on what can be posted here, beyond those set out in the Rules of course; However, expect that whatever you do say will most assuredly be questioned to death. If what they want to teach us can't stand up to that level of scrutiny, it may be time to rethink their position. In reality, what we usually get are bricks thrown at us for just not being fair and letting them win, dammit!
That's perfectly fine. Did my comment make it seem like I was complaining about something that got posted here? I was just adding to the discussion my own point of view about what was said.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
