The Strait and Narrow

My brother in Christ over at HolyLeaven wrote about the 2006 Assembly of the Church of God of Prophecy where he shows us the dangerous precedents set before us that in the eagerness to win souls of the divorcess we have open the door to sin that will enter the church. This goes alone with the my last post of “Confession only”.

[This past General Assembly was truly a trying time for those who believe marriage is for life. The decision making process was troubling to say the least. I know for me personally some have questioned my intelligence and have lost confidence in me because I didn’t support what seemed to be the will of the General Assembly. It is certainly not my intent to disrespect authority or to disregard the counsel of my peers but I believed and still believe the reasoning used to pass this report was flawed and extremely dangerous.
So many have thought it was simply the change to the church’s stand on the sanctity of Marriage which caused me and others to be concerned. However, that’s not the case. While I believe in the sanctity of marriage and while I believe the church made a serious error in changing its stand, I am more troubled by the rationale used to come to this conclusion and the precedents those rationales have set.
The first mistake I wish to point out is the use of the “Hospital Analogy” which was continually put forth to support the proposed changes both in 2004 and 2006.]
