    I’m not sure I’m following what you’re saying here. Splintering the church improves God’s work? Or, leaving the church is not splintering the church and improves God’s work? Are you saying that the church exists, in part, to turn a financial profit?

    Dechurched -> Schism. Schismatic. Hasenpfeffer incorporated. Is that still a thing?

    To the left, to the left, to the left right left. I left the church in the dust. I took a turn to the right. To the left, to the left, to the left right left.

    Do church refugees splinter the church? If so, is that a good thing? If not, is that a good thing?

    That’s exactly why I said that I believe the assessment is woefully inadequate. I could also have said, in other words, that it is adequate as far as it goes, but it doesn’t go far enough.

    Who is “the new Moses”?

    Sure. Truth > entertainment. If interested, see my thread “The Chosen - Godly Truth or Dangerous Fiction?”

    No scripture in the OP? - Oh my!

    Might could be that they’re just not commented on rather than ignored. I always hold open that possibility, slim as it may be.

    No scripture in the OP? - Oh my!

    It’s the rare person whom I’m unable to find at least some measure of agreement with in regard to the scriptures.

    No scripture in the OP? - Oh my!

    Picture this. A quiet rural setting. Two friends are sitting in the rocking chairs on the front porch, enjoying a pitcher of lemonade on a hot summer day. One would like to discuss something with the other - Noah’s ark. The conversation begins - with the quotation of scripture or without the...

    No scripture in the OP? - Oh my!

    A comment was made this morning in one of my threads which made an issue out of the fact - yes, it is a fact - that the first post of that thread contained no scripture. That set me to thinking about how discussion unfolds in our daily lives. (My thanks to that member.) How many of your...
