I believe a search of the archives will find I have been generally even
handed in "blasting" the various orgs and independants. I'm not
particularly fond of any one group. Each has something to offer and
something to forget.
Many times with many ministers from various groups(orgs or independants)
the answer to questions boils down to this: this is the party(church for
independants) line; I can't prove it, it was instituted by a group(or
pastor) of prayerful Holy Ghost filled men therefore it is right.
>I recall Jesus saying something like: those who are not against us are for us.
We must all agree, those who don't are against us. So who is right that
we should agree with them?
The early church never had disagreements.
Well there was Paul and Barnabas. Who was right? Who was against the
true church? If you ask me Paul was wrong; holding Timothy's past against
him(not forgiving 70x7, no compassion). Guess we should just pitch the
Pauline Epistles.

Remember April 1 !! National Fool's Day
Psalms 14:1 <To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David.> The fool hath
said in his heart, [There is] no God. They are corrupt, they have done
abominable works, [there is] none that doeth good.
Psalms 53:1 <To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, [A Psalm] of
David.> The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. Corrupt are
they, and have done abominable iniquity: [there is] none that doeth good.
