Are absolutes absolute? Can we leave behind misguided doctrine...Can we lay aside biblical truths only because they are inconvenient and we are intimidated by them...<br /><br />These questions can be translated easily...these individuals are afraid of their own spiritual rearing...and the fear has turned to embarrassment...and they have become quite ashamed of the tenets of apostolic doctrine...in other words, "I am ashamed of the gospel of Christ...because I can't adequately explain it to others or disbelievers... I am at a loss as to how to do what I want to do, in light of His Truth...so I must ask, often, silly questions about long-established doctrine, based on sound, solid biblical reference and teaching...being ashamed of your heritage is an uncomfortable place to be...you can't retreat to your firm foundation because that base is difficult to deal with in the light of post moderism philosophy...it's uncomfortable because it's difficult to go forward without some thin premise of doctrine...as fragile as it might be...<br /><br />I say let those who are questioning their inherited foundation...seek better counsel in His Word...than that available from today's near-illiterate pseudo-pentecostals...Truth remains Truth...in every generation...in every age...where did we get these milktoast pentecostals so afraid of their shadows...remember Peter...and what his shadow accomplished??Buddy Buiehttp://www.buddybuie.orgnoreply@blogger.com
