Hey Jim
Thanks. You are right Jim I have seen many who I knew were my brother or sister and they were so hung up on doctrine they would rather kick me out as a heratic and not relize it was Christ they were kicking out and I could see in their eyes they knew it was wrong but for the sake of the crowd or the church they would do it any way. I believe in the times we are in many of these same people will come and ask for forgivness and we need to have our arms and hearts open to them.
And always know except for Christ there goes all of us. Another point you brought up in the audio is also important for us to not forget many who have come out of the IC are worse then many still in and can not get off their high horse and lend a helping hand to a brother and most likley over some high fangled doctrine that now they think is the real truth. Easy to get caught in and something to be on the alert about. Doctrine is great but in the end Christ is the answer to all that would come up and many times I dont know works just fine also. Better then losing a brother or sister just so we think we look good. When we wear Christ we will always look good and do not have to be so concerned about who is right or wrong.
