Hypocrisy

[aspen]

So.. I am not writing this to condemn.. but just a peeve of mine with online chat sites like this.. where it becomes like alot of people's 'church' or primary source for doctrine.. when it should be taken from the assembly they attend for christian fellowship and teaching.


I agree with you on the last. A healthy Christian gets his fellowship and primary teaching in the real world.

Hey, we all agree on this!

But some people can't get to church and this is the only communication with other christians they have. The disabled, people living in snow covered regions. I don't see how a person getting saved over the internet is any less valid than being saved in person. In some ways you get more accurate teaching online anyway. Which is why I often read things online not just take the pastors word for it. He's a man paid and trying to keep his job and coming from one particular flavor of christianity. It is not always in his best interest to tell the facts or the truth. Only to keep himself in a job and his bosses happy.

Are you being sarcastic again snail?

The Spirit is not limited by space or distance. He can minister even over the internet.
