@mika_edmondson Of the things I’ve heard you say, none of which have lacked importance or been to me pearls before swine, this struck such a chord with me, I can’t quit thinking about it. The thought that hypocrisy of folks like me has caused the departure of many from orthodoxy is horrifying.

@mika_edmondson Or vice versa.

@mika_edmondson Amen. I will remain faithful to the Word. I will be the hands and feet of Christ to those around me.

@mika_edmondson The most broken thing in the Christian faith is the lack of accountability for choices, if we can quote some scripture. Ignore Jesus' instructions because we have other scripture. Since scripture, no personal responsibility for our choice of one or the other.

@mika_edmondson Thank you, Pastor @mika_edmondson !

@mika_edmondson The church would be a million times better off if church leaders stopped saying stupid and unhelpful crap like this

@mika_edmondson Brother, I don’t think that stereotyping helps me as a theological conservative (who loves justice) to reform.

@mika_edmondson Doesn't it all come down to loving God & loving our neighbors as ourselves? Isn't the greatest of these love? Won't they know we are Christians by our love? Love shouldn't be bound by politics, but in many cases, sadly it is. I'd rather err on the side of compassionate liberalism

@mika_edmondson Hello Pastor Mika, please define justice, theological conservatives, and theological liberals. I just joined the conversation.

@mika_edmondson You make a fair point My experience is that willingness to dialogue is lacking far more with conservatives than with everyone else It's what happens when one confuses "inerrancy of Scripture" with "inerrancy of me"

@mika_edmondson @native_speaks What exactly is a "theological liberal"?
