My father taught me that, years ago , back before Joyce and I wre married. Anyone who has ever been married knows that you can be totally right, and still lose the argument with your spouse. You can win the battle, but lose the war. Because the point isn't who's right and who isn't, but whether two people get along, and manage to love each other. I am always sorry to see Christians arguing, as if they had forgotten what it's all about.
People forget how important it is to come to agreement.
And the words people use in the argument aren't what matter. People who tear down the community of Christ, on either side, are not doing what Jesus said. Any time we start arguing about questions of truth, it's important for us to remind ourselves that we don't know everything . That applies to both liberal and conservative Christians. We just don't know everything.
