A more severe test is reading charles chiniquoy fifty years in the church. He pulls no punches about revealing who has caused and continues causing the wars, and martyring men, women and babies.I have read corrie tan boons book and I have also read tortured for christ.
Good that you are a overcomer. We can do all things though Christ who strengths us. We can put on the Mind of Christ as a born again believer. We put off our old way of thinking and put on the divine thoughts of God. The church I was in preached many many sermons on what it means to have the mind of Christ.I don't have those things.
What is the mind of Christ? It dies and lives daily. It doesn't desire or have wealth or political ambition, care, worries, or fears. It suffers many afflictions. It's content in all situations and wants onky basis needs. It's simplistic not luxurious. It's somtimes confused or scared. It's what the apostles teach us. It's hated and rejected.Good that you are a overcomer. We can do all things though Christ who strengths us. We can put on the Mind of Christ as a born again believer.

I don't expect applause, respect or love. I follow Jesus and his apostles. They were despised, rejected, scorned and mocked.Thank you for your excellent contributions to this thread @fhansen
I think our friends @MarkRohfrietsch @ViaCrucis @Shane R @prodromos @HTacianas @FenderTL5 @dzheremi and @chevyontheriver could also make a very interesting contribution to this thread, from a Traditional Theology perspective, since I believe the OP’s view of ecclesiastical tradition is misguided.

I don't need approval by you or anyone. Your dislike actually strengthens me it seems..
