Well I'll be, I didn't even relize that. I'll have to look into it....

I would disagree about the color scheme however, I've never had a problem with it.

Squire R.,

man must be careful when introducing creeds and interpretations of Gods word that degrade the nature and goals of God.
As other denominations have over history been shortsighted as the goals of God and have introduced half truths pointing to enevitable heretical teachings.

1Jo 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

the annointing that is within those "in christ" is the infinite love of God for his creation that overfills even the most innocent of babes.

even as it is known of the child. any power that is overcome. becomes weaker. (finite)

example: if a brother lies towards another.

forgiveness to overcome this fault lies only within the righteousness of Christ.
once the righteousness of Christ is acheived. the fault is overcome by the power of righteousness.

the fault becomes finite in nature and not eternal. thus the correctional instruction becomes finite.

Act 15:10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

back to my point.
the introduction of the misinterpretations of some parables to the extent that denominational creeds arise lays burdens on Christs disciples that they shouldnt attempt to bare.

such as the power of Christs righteousness not overcoming every enemy of Christ.
or giving mankind the power of sovereign choice over Gods will. rendering Gods expressed will and nature impotent.

For those over 45, the non-contrasting color scheme can be a pain.
