Good entry this morning, if a bit wordalicious (says the pot to the kettle). I'd never heard it called 'spiritual discernment' before your last entry, and I like your explaination of it... mayhap I'll use that next time I try to explain myself to people. (For yea, though she is not oft eloquent, she also can read people, and not only can read people, can't NOT read them. Yeow, that can get irritating!)
I still don't understand why accepting that other Words Of God are just as good makes you a heretic, though. Granted, I didn't grow up in a Christian religious household... in fact, neither of my households GOT religion until I was about seven or eight, when Mom started dabbling in Quakerism and Dad started coming back to his family roots (which I eventually did as well, in the wake of his death). I know I'm poorly equipped to understand Baptist matters, so that's why I'm asking... I feel it's important for me to understand, because a lot more people come from a Baptist background than a Quaker/Native American one! XD I'll ping you when I see you online.
