"2 Cor 11 is the funniest chapter in the Bible. (I love Paul's sarcasm). Sometimes I read the chapter when depressed . . . . SO funny! "

At 10:03am on February 2, 2011, Phoebe said…: Hi Rick,

Thanks for the add. I would be really interested in the links, and for you to post on my thread. I think dialogue and discussing differences is always interesting, as I believe we can find unity in trying to understand other positions. Or maybe I'm just an eternal optimist. :o)

At 12:28pm on June 21, 2010, Rick C. said…: Hi Valerie.

Thanks for your kind comments.

The truth of it is, I'm an INTP (an Introverted, iNtuitive, Thinking, Perceptive personality type). We're the "mad scientist" and "absent-minded professor" kind of folks. We want to dissect every detail, are information junkies!

Inevitably, I'll need to do some compromising on finding a denomination or church that believes exactly like I do. We all do, I'd tend to think.

I appreciate your prayer for my best, which would also be God's Best. I'm confident He will lead me to just-where-I'm-supposed-to-be!

God bless you!
Thanks!

I pray the best for you in your search for a home church of like-minded believers....or maybe like you said in the chat perhaps you could start your own. The easiest way to do start your own would probably be to become a missionary. :)
