Apostasy

It shames me to admit that I’ve fought one or two Church Fights. All I can claim is youth and stupidity. Never again!

Right now my Church has a dandy brewing. The presenting issue (same gender relationships) is not the real issue and the two sides have been spoiling for a fight for a long time. Both sides quote scripture, neither have ever read the Bible. A plague on both their houses!

-- 30 --



Church fights are neat.
Church fights are fun.
You get to call the other guys bad names.
You get to know God is on your side.
You get to hate in the name of Jesus Christ.
Church fights are neat.
Church fights are fun.
Church fights are apostasy.

They say, Church and state shouldn't mix, but I think they should mix;
because both parties are fighting amongst themselves. LOL! They're a
bunch of nuckle-heads. :0)

... church fights are one reason some people dont get involved in a congregation. interesting spin in ur poem. most differences are best addressed outside the spin circle. :)

That's why I will never be in a position to even witness another one. God weeps.

Yeah, church fights are fun, I recall one doozy of one when I was growing up. In that case the church slpit up, part of the congregation building their own church and the rest staying with the status quo. I have a feeling this may happen toi your church if it's the one I believe it is.

Vashti's Daughter by Raven West

“Vashti’s Daughter” delivers “The Whole Megillah”. The novel is rich, layered narrative that combines history, mystery, mysticism, time travel, previous lives, fact and fantasy and feminist reimagination into one compelling package.
