The closer we get to the last day, the more God will be revealing to us. What does matter is that we are able to freely bring forth our proposals onto the Lord's Table and rest upon His Holy Spirit to guide us into all truth. Only when the glory of the Lord is revealed shall we all be able to see it at the same time and know for sure. I know that liberal open-mindedness is a virtue accepted only by a loving fellowship, not a totalitarian one. In knowing these things, I hope to pass onto you a certain degree of tolerance for the opinions of others.
Most people shy away from controversy because they think it is divisive.
For us to come to unity, we must embrace controversy as a friend in order to identify what has divided us. For us to speak as one, and Jesus will not come until we do, the controversial issues must be brought to the fore. Jesus will guide us into all truth but only as we put Him first in all things and that includes being open minded enough and humble enough to put down our swords and come together in love and dialogue.
