[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Church doctrine is not the Word of God, and I maintain the Bible is not a black-and-white instruction manual of "dos" and "don'ts." I left a church whose doctrine was exclusionary and rooted in 20 centuries of fear -- fear of losing power. I joined a church whose doctrine is inclusionary and recognizes that God -- above all else -- is love. Not "love" in a rom-com or sappy sense, but "love" as [b]God's continuous acceptance[/b] and ongoing presence through the peaks and valleys of one's life.[/quote]

Have you actually read the Bible?  God loves us all and continues to love us though we sin.  But part of His love is to teach, discipline, chasten and expect us to "sin no more."  It is great for churches to be inclusive.  It is not great for them to pretend that God doesn't care how we behave.

God said, "If you love me, keep my commandments."  [/quote]

People have many different experiences and understandings of God. Your experience and understanding is just one.[/quote]
