You sound like F. members - whenever the littlest thing happens, they cry persecution. You and I have no idea what persecution is. Those 4 missionaries murdered in Yemen because they were Christians - now that is persecution. Being asked to be civil and respectful is not suffering persecution - of all things. Neither is it ushering in the new world order because you've been asked to be respectful of others point of views. None of us want to go back to the F. way of having someone be "lords over God's sheep" and telling us just what the Bible means and just what God is saying. We all have our own path to follow, right or wrong, and it's between our God and us. Neither you nor anyone has the right to judge and say that it is right or wrong. Only God knows the true intentions of the heart. Someone could be very convincing of being a dedicated Christian and quote all the right scriptures, say all the right things (sounds like Berg) yet be as far away from knowing God or being Godly - they could be at the same time very wicked in their intentions and are only "walking the walk" and "doing the talk" because they know how and they are scam artists. This leads me to believe that God is the one to judge and God is the one who knows our hearts, regardless of what one professes or believes. Your opinions are welcome as long as they are in the spirit of healing and not lording it over God's heritage.
