Good perspective SC Ump! You will find that verse in the second chapter of Jude (hee hee).
I am a "churchgoer" am an elder also. I would that all share my beliefs. I will glady discuss my beliefs with anyone, as Paul told Timothy to "be ready always to give an answer TO EVERY MAN THAT ASKETH YOU a reason of the hope that is in you with MEEKNESS and fear:" I Tim 3:15.
If one asks, we'll talk!
I also hold to Phillipians 2;12 where Paul told the Phillipian Church to "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling". Again I'll be glad to share my beliefs, (and hear yours), but if we don't agree, thats OUR choice. (heck, some of you may even be Democrats! uh-oh, another can 'o worms!).
Bottom line is; We all believe something...even atheists and agnostics, and all are responsible for our OWN beleifs. The right to believe as ones faith directs is a right which I believe is God given, as well as in this country a right which many have fought and died for.If my faith leads me here, and yor faith leads you there, so be it....PLAY BALL>>>
