MICHAEL BUSSEE: My email to you just bounced. Send me one from your new email address, which obviously has changed since a year ago unless your emailer is acting up.

EDDY: If you are visiting your parents, you’re welcome to stop by. We’re in the phone book.

I know that these comments have nothing to do with this thread except that these are people whom I care about but have no other way to contact them at the moment.

Hey, room for me on that bandwagon too!
Mary, I believe I stated that it was just my feelings. I know that not everyone feels they are unacceptable to a faith community. My years in Exodus (15 years ago) it was actually being said, that Homosexuality was a sin, you couldn’t be gay and Christian, you were in need of change. Seems not a lot has changed based upon what I hear Alan and other leaders saying. It’s ok tho, I always try to allow for others to be wrong…just as I dound out I was. (smile)

Peace and Joy on your journey.
Darlene

Timothy,

Your last paragraph here is profound – I hope we all can realize this when we disagree – thank you for your insight and knowledge and for sharing it.

Eddy,

Yeah, I find that on all matters of faith I question whether this is a truth God has given my heart, or just my upbringing. On many things I just say, “I’ll believe it because the result is good (ie. loving, giving, forgiveness, treating others right, etc.). If I’ve got it all wrong, I’ll just have to trust that God will see my heart”.

If ultimately there is no Trinity, or direction of the Holy Spirit, or even if the Redemption is just a hoax created 2000 years ago by a zealous cult, I trust that God will forgive my human frailty and misplaced trust in institutions. And if not, well then he’s not the God I worship.

Sometimes you just have to go with what you believe. The trick is realizing you could be wrong and not punishing others who disagree with you.
