The motivation behind this investigation (link) is unclear. I'd like to think that it is a proper recognition that those under investigation are not true ministers of the gospel, but I'm concerned that it may be an attempt to go after what is perceived to be Christianity.
What think ye?

Comment Guidelines:
1. Thanks for posting a comment. Without you, this blog would not be interactive.
2. Please be polite. That doesn't mean you have to use kid gloves, but please try not to flame others, even if they are heretics, infidels, or worse.
3. If you insult me, I'm more likely to delete your comment than if you butter me up. After all, I'm human. I prefer praise to insults. If you prefer insults, there's something wrong with you.
4. Please be concise. The comment box is not your blog. Your blog is your blog. If you have a really long comment, post it on your blog and post a short summary of it here.
5. Please don't just spam. It's one thing to be concise, it's another thing to simply use the comment box to advertise.
6. Please note, by commenting here, you are relinquishing your (C) in your comments to me.
7. Remember that you will give an account on judgment day for your words, including those typed in comment boxes. Try to write so you will not be ashamed if it is read back before the entire world.
8. Stay on topic. If your comment has nothing to do with the post, email it to me (my email can be obtained through my blogger profile), or simply don't post it.
9. Don't post as "Anonymous." If you are going to post anonymously, at least use some kind of recognizable "handle," so we can tell you apart from all the other anonymous folks. (This is moot at the moment, since recent abuse has forced me to turn off "anonymous" commenting.)
10. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you; and abstain from doing to others what you would not wish upon yourself.
It appears that the Senator initiated the investigation at the prompting of one Mr. Anthony, of the "Trinity Foundation". After a **cursory** scan of the Trinity Foundation site (including the statement of faith and some browsing in linked "projects" like the WittenburgDoor.com)... It would seem to me that it would be "Sound Judgment".
ReplyDeleteI realize that anyone can say anything on their websites, but there is a quote from (the late) Mike Yaconelli on the Wittenburgdoor website about Mr. Anthony, that-- if true-- would be supportive that Mr. Anthony is what he says he is... someone who is trying to keep "the Church he loves" in line. (While I might not agree with Mike Yaconelli on all points theology, I would affirm that he was a Christian and not a persecutor).
Now... as to Grassley (sp?)... I don't know.
