The general feeling by at least one of the other respondents was that "heresy" (read: grace gospel) was a divisive force in Christianity! After reading this post, how can they believe this? It is possibly the only thing that offers to bring us ALL together. Man, I wish I were better at relating my deepest thoughts and feelings about the grace gospel. I tried to relate to the respondents how most of the time when a follower of the grace gospel calls him/herself a "heretic" it is usually done with tongue-in-cheek, because that's what he/she has been called so many times. I tried to relate the true definition of the word "heresy", (to choose), but didn't seem to get anywhere. To the closed mind, very little divergent thinking seems to find its way through the mine field of conventional theology. One day, perhaps, the "light" will illuminate.....
