Apostasy Must Be Called What It Is,

There Is Nothing More Ugly Than An Orthodoxy Without Understanding Or Compassion.

If There Is No Absolute Moral Standard, Then One Cannot Say In A Final Sense That Anything Is Right Or Wrong. By Absolute We Mean That Which Always Applies, That Which Provides A Final Or Ultimate Standard. There Must Be An Absolute If There Are To Be Morals, And There Must Be An Absolute If There Are To Be Real Values. If There Is No Absolute Beyond Man's Ideas, Then There Is No Final Appeal To Judge Between Individuals And Groups Whose Moral Judgments Conflict. We Are Merely Left With Conflicting Opinions.

Doctrinal Rightness And Rightness Of Ecclesiastical Position Are Important, But Only As A Starting Point To Go On Into A Living Relationship - And Not As Ends In Themselves.

So Our Building Of The Visible Church Becomes Much Like Any Natural Business Function, Using Natural Means And Natural Motives.
