If there really is a truth, then there must be error to anything not lining up with that truth. God says to "speak the truth in love". It sounds like in your Nazarene churh they were more interested in religiousness than knowing Jesus. That happens to people inside and outside or churches. It is wrong to put down another person for whatever "right" reason a person has. It isn't wrong to speak the truth in a loving way. It is too bad that you weren't taught that as well as the false doctrines of Mormonism and the Catholic church. Yes, I will take a stand and say the ONLY WAY is knowing Jesus. There is no other! But I will not force you to believe it or insult you if you don't. Jesus didn't teach that. The only people He tended to insult were the "SELF"-righteous. karen
