I'm a little careful when debating religious things.
I believe we can think what we want, difference between thinking and indulging, if a thought of evil crosses my mind and I banish it, its think, thats natural, if an evil thought comes up and I indulge in it and enjoy scheming it then its wrong.
However, if I'm speaking out, like in this forum, its a whole different story than thinking, my words may have the power to lead people astray. Thats what I ment when I said that about the elders, because they are qualified to lead, I don't want to say something stupid that will get myself and others in trouble. Of course, debating is what this forum is for (my equavalent of a cell group since I have none IRL, move around a lot) so I just be more careful.
After all, its mentioned several times (including at the end of Job) that his friends had commited sin for debating such things or something like that (someone explain please).
