On Tim Alberta and Thoms discussion. Are we going back far enough? When it comes to evangelicals, why they are how they are. Using what God has led me to believe. We live in a fallen world ran by the evil one. Would that mean the church is affected as well? In that it tends to authoritarian, one God. When it is of the trinity or in a manner of speaking group rule or say democratic.
