And you are the one who doesn't understand the quotes and are misreading them...

Really? Where have I misquoted?

So, uh, isn't this supposed to be in Divine Diversities?

I wasn't directing my comments to you. You felt it that way, because (from what I am reading) you fit the Archetype of the typical dogma follower pretty well.

And I know this is going to annoy you pretty badly (or I think so) but Keep in mind this: ==> I don't feel myself as a superior person or smarter than you or any other doctrine follower.

• I just think, in my humble opinion, that doctrine followers are actually asleep, instead of being awake.

You were directing those comments to me. Whether you admit that or not is neither here nor there at this point. But now moving on...

Doctrine follower.

Really?

I just spelled out what Jesus meant to me and how he has healed childhood wounds but you have still managed to reduce me to a "doctrine follower" in your mind?

Doctrine is necessary because it composes the skeletal system of the church.

What is a doctrine follower and how have I fallen into that category? Because I corrected athenegoddess? Because she kept referencing things in the bible that simply aren't there?

Regulus18, I feel bad about what is happening here, in the name of Jesus. And I'm sorry for being harsh myself. I think you have a lot of valuable information and knowledge to share. I really think that there are better ways we all can communicate and learn from each other.

Agreed. I was trying to keep it as respectful as possible.

As Christians we take any form of dissent against what we believe very personally because...in a way...when people challenge your faith, it feels like they are really challenging your issues that were resolved through faith.

So...there's some insight into my reactions.

I do not like dislike anyone on the forum, it's just clear that I am pretty passionate about Christ.
