Our tradition requires votes on everything. The fact that it keeps losing is meaningful. The people have to really be against something for it to fail 5 times in a row.

If everything is negotiable in their version of Christianity, then you owe it to yourself to turn and run. Fast. And don't look back.

Not to put too sharp of a point on it, but how can they vote on anything in the Scriptures? You're Church didn't acquire Salvation on it's own, so why do they now presume to either accept or reject parts of the teachings that come with it?

Christianity isn't a democracy, despite what most Christians seem to think. It's a monarchy and while our Regent is not physically with us at this time, He left explicit instructions on how our daily lives were to be lived and how the government of His Kingdom was to operate. His subjects voting to either accept or reject His laws will not go over well.

I understand that you are trying to hold the line, so to speak, but even the very act of voting on accepting or rejecting portions of Scriptures can be seen as sedition against Christ.
