Correct me if I am wrong, but to me you seem to insist he is a standpat,
gagged and hogtied god who can do nothing new.
Under the new covenant of grace, He (God) does not need to be anything but steadfast and consistent. It is grace verses works, whether Mormon, Baptist, Catholic or whatever. The church was NEVER right on its own terms. It needed grace for the same reasons individual members have that need and it needed grace from day one. That is the revelation -- in your KJV bible and in ours. Sorry for the interruption and Perry can take care of himself, I know. I just had to do it.
By the way, your silence on this brother question means to me that there is more to it for you, Blaine, than simply being a Christian.
