Would it help any for me to inform you that this missionary neither sat under nor studied under the pastor he was associated with. The only common ground was that pastor was over the mission board the missionary was accepted through.<BR/><BR/>So I stand by my question, “Why can’t we associate and disassociate with individuals by how they line up with Christ and scripture, instead of an –ism and mere man?”<BR/><BR/>We should associate and disassociate because of scripture and truth, not because of who someone associates with.Splinters of Silverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02899357787697070658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35324441.post-50716594953176128742007-03-05T16:42:00.000-06:002007-03-05T16:42:00.000-06:00Anything in which there is disagreement is cause f...Anything in which there is disagreement is cause for disassociation. You too believe this, else you wouldn't adhere to only one denomination. You discriminate and that's not an evil thing. We all do it. <BR/><BR/>For example, marriage between one man and one woman is a discrimination against all others who might wish to join in the marriage. Only in the US has such an idea been made evil.<BR/><BR/>My beliefs would leave me without a church home if I allowed it. However, I would rather lie down with dogs and enjoy the camaraderie, then wallow is my individuality. <BR/><BR/>However, I'm not asking anyone for support. If I was, then I would definitely need to move away from the fellowship.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35324441.post-39480446140838880932007-03-02T08:31:00.000-06:002007-03-02T08:31:00.000-06:00RC,So if your pastor believes in tithing, you must...RC,<BR/><BR/>So if your pastor believes in tithing, you must also right?

Eventually, I may tell them, just depends on what I think their motivation is.<BR/><BR/>Good post.
