I can safely speak for your Wesleyan ancestors when I say you are dreadfully and frightfully misled in this belief. Your ancestors had a personal relationship with a very personal God.

I can safely speak for your Wesleyan ancestors when I say you are dreadfully and frightfully misled in this belief. Your ancestors had a personal relationship with a very personal God. A God who knows the number of hairs on your head, a God who knew you before he formed you in your mother’s womb. Christianity isn’t about church, it’s never been about church. It’s about living a life dedicated to spreading the gospel and in obedience to God. That is why they moved to the schools, to take God into the schools. A Christian with any wisdom whatsoever wants to create educated disciples, people who can read their own Bibles and can teach others what is in them. They want disciples that can answer the tough questions others have.
What good is knowledge without wisdom?
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”
Proverbs 9:10 NASB
Your ancestors had wisdom that was lost to you. You celebrate it as scientific, but in reality it is heartbreaking.
The Substack app sucks. That comment was part of a much longer conversation I was having with a poster named Robyn, sometimes despite hitting the reply button to a specific comment Substack will just randomly post my comment elsewhere within the forum. As much as I love Substack their app is terrible to use at least on an iPhone. Without the context the post doesn’t make any sense which isn’t your fault at all. Suffice it to say that was not the point of the post which would have been obvious in the greater conversation had Substack not randomly dropped the comment elsewhere.

What do you mean? How is being skeptical of vaccines mean you are out of touch with the wisdom of God?
