You are,sadly,spot on.I've seen this first hand here in Oz.The church I attended had the issue of homosexuality come up in a big way,Many meetings were held,conferences galore etc etc.One night a moderator came to our church to discuss the issue with a few of us who had concerns.When the meeting started we opened our Bibles and the first thing spoken by said moderator was "if this is going to turn into a bible study there is no point me being here".
It was then we realized that in spite of all the talk we were not of one accord after all.We were not of one mind.
As I've said here before,in the beginning I read the bible as an atheist and came to believe through that reading (and a very very good friend who took great delight in nudging me at every opportunity)so to come to a church meeting and see an almost open disdain for trying to inject the Word of God into our deliberations was mortifying.
I find myself more in accord with some believers here than I did with the people I sat next to in the pews.
I'm very thankfull for much of what's posted here.Much meat in due season!I'm chewing for all I'm worth.
God bless
MAkes one wonder about the membership that “many meetings” were even necessary over such a clear topic....just shows the condition of the church is not healthy to say the least...and likely loaded with the liberal mindset or it wouldn’t have become an issue needing conferences and meetings.
Glad you caught on to it.
My conversion was a result of beginning to read the Bible ....powerful words!
