I rarely can comprehend my own words so I understand. But I think you're making total sense and I think it's a very reasonable question to ask. Christianity is, after all, a man made institution. God breathed, Spirit led, inspired to be true, but created by fallible man none the less. And of course, Eastern Orthodoxy would say we're all off base with what is Traditional and True "Christianity" and so would just about every other denomination and sect...so who's version of being Christian is "right" anyway? Good questions to ask IMO. I listened to a podcast from wiredparish last night that was about Scripture and inerrancy and those sort of things..it was really interesting and very very good. hehe… I rarely can comprehend my own words so I understand.

One of the Qs i'm wondering about at the moment is how much of christianity a hinderance/wrong - in that we ask people to become christians but is that what we really should be asking? I keep wondering how much are we emeshed in following christianity rather than Jesus? How much is it about welcoming people into our own institutions/kingdoms rather than God's kingdom? I'm not even sure i can comprehend/express what I am wondering... sounds cool, will have to give it a listen, ty for highlighting it…
