That was also alluded to earlier, several times by me since this thread began.

When they’re told they must believe in the literal 6 day creation in Genesis (for example) in order to believe The Gospel, does that have a negative impact…? When they see Christians selectively ranking sin, and focusing on the moral failures of others while ignoring their own moral failures, and pretending that someone else’s sin is worse than their own sin, does that have a negative impact…?
And what about people who are leaving the church who aren’t young people…?


Every day on this side of the ground is a win.
