How long can I continue to fellowship with a people who see the Bible as a lesser claimant to the knowledge of God than themselves? NB: I’m not speaking only of the many good people of University Baptist & Brethren Church of whom this is true, although I admit it was they who prompted this entry. No, people in so-called conservative circles are just as likely to dismiss or be ignorant of the scriptures and the God to whom the scriptures point. And their dismissals seem to me more often further afield of the point than those of the so-called progressives.
