Hi there.  Welcome to my blog.  You may have found it because it’s been posted on some conservative website, and you feel it’s your duty to steer readers away from my false teaching.  Well, you’re welcome to do so.<\/p>\n

But, before you write your next comment, consider this: If all you do is call me a false teacher and then go on to cut and paste Bible verses into my comment section, you will be deleted.  If you keep doing it, Beliefnet will block your inbound URL.<\/p>\n

So if you want to comment, go ahead.  But add something substantive, because everyone already knows that you and I read the Bible differently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
