I didn't. Perhaps reread. I made a plausible suggestion as to why based on why so many other churches have done the same. But if you are going to characterize my behavior as the same type of behavior as what led to your church dividing, then my explanation makes alot of sense. You want churches to tolerate sin. Christians bring those who sin gently back into the fold as ministers of reconciliation or separate from them. When churches tolerate sin, Christians should first voice their objections, and, if unheeded, find a congregation that doesn't sanction sin.
You are free to share your experiences with your church, but if you are going to characterize my behavior as the same as what caused your church to split, I know why your church split. Some chose unity, and some chose to follow the teachings of the Bible. You seem to favor unity over truth. Jesus certainly didn't.

No, you don't know what happened at all. No one was calling for the toleration of sin, or for any changes in church practices, doctrines, or beliefs.
It was that some folks suddenly refused to tolerate people who saw things differently. People who were previously very good friends, grew up together, raised their kids together, ran VBS together, etc. started calling each other names and attacked each other personally until they could no longer be in each others' presence.
And it had little to nothing to do with our actual faith.

Could we be more clear about what you mean by the underlined in red? Instead of talking past each other?
Some folks not only didn't tolerate people with different experiences and views, they took that next step and leveled all sorts of terrible accusations against them, including saying they weren't real Christians (and worse).
We're not talking about falling short of the mark. We are talking about people living in sin, living in the world yet claiming to be saved. Neither am I talking about a new Christian. Are we clear?

It's not personal. You tolerate and sanction sin. You didn't love those more than a million babies who were aborted last year. You lent your support to their demise.
The commandment to love isn't my commandment. You chose to act in a way that fostered the death of children and you are ok with that. If you didn't profess to be a Christian, I wouldn't have mentioned it. But you profess to be a Christian and you not only tolerate blatant sin, you act in a way to aid it. As a Christian, I don't understand such behavior. Perhaps you can explain it to me.

You came on this site encouraging people to vote for Democrats. You know that Democrats support abortion. You have sanctioned the killing of children in the womb and even some outside the womb.
I'm trying to understand if you don't believe abortion is a sin or you know it is but take action to allow it to continue and encourage others to do the same.

I am kinda wondering what changes in the development of the baby after twenty four weeks for those who vote Republican?
They once had the moral ground on abortion, they do not anymore, amazing you are being accused of supporting abortion when their party is no different maybe even worse cause at least the Dems are consistent and transparent.
