@Flimzy I would say yes, but not the way most people would want to ask it. It can't be a yes/no, but if you ask a careful question about "What about x's doctrine doesn't match up with y's doctrine about salvation" or something those should be ok. Differences are on topic, just not exclusion lists for the sake of drawing borders.

@Flimzy We were green and didn't know what to do with that stuff at the time.

@Caleb been meaning to ask are all of you and yours OK after the "shakeup" in your area?

@waxeagle Yes we are, thank you. It was on the opposite end of the country from me and the people I know in the area happened to be out of the area at the time. It's a pretty sad time for the country though, a lot of families affected.

@Caleb yeah, I've heard it was quite bad. Glad you guys are all ok. Hope that your churches can find ways to minister to folks who have been affected.

@waxeagle The one church in the area is pretty devastated and haven't been able to offer much hands on help. Some folks have gone to help them but ended up being more of a burden than a help partly because supply rations are limited and the government relief systems are pretty tight on people not interfering. The extended stuff is another matter though, there are lots of people to take care of in the rest of the country as a result. And people looking for answers.

(Which is partly why I haven't been on SE so much this week.)

@Caleb far more important things than what we have going on here.

@Caleb yeah take the long view. Meet needs where you can and where appropriate, but be prepared for helping with the long road to recovery.
