Sez it well!
So true! Oh, to fall into the loving and comforting arms of absolute TRUTH.
Ya got that right!! They want you sitting there, fully trusting, anxious for all their wise explanations. All will be well, UNTIL you disagree with their explanations-not allowed.
Sure! Until you start questioning their answers…
Changing churches after 22 years: loss of wife & husband after 29 & 25 years respectively and a new marriage … we were informed that the elder and his new wife desperately needed a new place to call their own.
Been to three ‘new members’ classes and asked to leave two of them and not return. Why? For asking the wrong questions and not being satified with pat answers not backed up by scripture.
“maybe we don’t have all the answers, maybe we haven’t got a clue what we are doing half the time, maybe sometimes we do…”
I love this text from our church’s website, honest and open.
I think questioning can only be healthy, and being open to be questioned perhaps more so.
I like that, too, if they really mean it. Plus, I think you make a good point-the questioners have to be open to being questioned also.
The answerers need to be open to being questioned on their answers as well.
To this I say just say …. yup.
me too!
The answerers are not used to being further questioned on their answers. They are used to people accepting their pat answers and nodding.
