Maybe what I will be writing here online is a little out of point, but just wanted to say something about what has been going on in this blog for the past few days at least. It is really with ambivalence that I read the entries on the blog...on one hand I am happy that there have been discussions about the issues that people toss up here, for it shows that we are not just blind believers that take things at face value, but on the other hand I am shocked, even disappointed with the manner by which some of these discussions have been done. It really sounds as though we are trying to kill each other...how can we be united in the body of Christ if we are already quibbling over these details? Purists may be of the opinion that these small details make a whale of a difference to the fundamental belief that we have, but we have to make sure that we do not detract from the ultimate aim of these discussions in the process, which is to enrich and to polish each other, that through them we will shine for all the world. Isn't that what Student Venture and Campus Crusade were about in the first place? In all instances it was to be non-denominational, crossing whatever boundaries existent. There is no point winning small victories (like in this case winning an argument) if we end up losing the war, which for us will be fought in Heaven (I know we will end up winning, but I hope the point is made). I know that we do not mean to hurt each other with our words ( if you think about it language is terribly limiting to what we mean sometimes) but watch it, okay?

Btw thanks for telling me how to change the nick and profile!
