This is my quote in all of its glory. Save it, its gonna be worth a soul or two someday =P"My question, Is there anything in the Bible that says its ok? If the Bible doesn't give us the authority from God to worship with.... (add whatever is NOT right here)... Then wouldn't it be ADDING to the Bible to say its ok? Think of it like this. You know when you read a book, you absolutely LOVE it. You've read it 2,3, 4 times and you know EVERYTHING about. Then a movie comes out ABOUT the book and you are soooo syked to see it. You go to the movies and you sit there, and watch an hour or two of a movie that DOESN'T follow word for word with the book its based on? You get upset, frustrated, and you sit there and ask yourself, "That's not in the book?!", or even things like, "I thought her hair was red in the book?"... regardless of how great the movie might be, is it the same as the book? No. THAT'S How I perceive the religions "of the world" today. They aren't scriptural, and they are only out to make a budget and look good. I have sat through friends worship services before and sat there thinking the same thing I thought when I first read the Harry Potter books and then went to see the movie.. This is not the book, this is not the story. This is an addition to something that was already perfect."

Profound words from my Soldier:)
I love big kids, I especially love my big kids who "get it"! I chat with my Caleb alot by phone and email about everyday. He has been studying the Bible a lot on his own (again...I love that!). He kicks things off my brain and several other far superior brains. I just couldn't let this one pass by today without blogging it....I agree with Caleb, except in reverse....He might just save a soul or two by his study and his creative way of presenting what God had presented to us in His word, Perfectly!

I, too, am impressed with Caleb's wisdom for one so young...evidence of a good upbringing. This young man of yours, Amanda, is truly amazing. Love to all!
