The original poster is not causing division; not by teaching sound doctrine, and not by expecting a fair discipline process.
The pastor is causing division by teaching errant doctrine, censuring sound teaching, and expecting those who support sound teaching to 'go away quietly'.
I genuinely wish I could accept the idea of setting truth aside and leaving in the interest of peace. Seriously, I wish I could. |
I agree - I actually forced the issue on the subject of alcohol - was serving as interim music minister at an SBC - was considered for full time - mentioned that I was not convicted concerning total abstinence to the pastor - he disclosed it to committee - met with committee - recommended that if they were serious about their conviction, they should drop me as interim, too - they wouldn't do it...seemed cowardly to me...so I finished my commitment and left.
