It’s a question of stewardship of your civic prerogatives, and sincere Christians have sincere disagreements. If you did the wrong thing for the right reason, God will more easily forgive than if you did the right thing for the wrong reason.

Agreed; though much of that would disappear if we really loved each other (see 1 John & James) -- the funny thing is that a lot of those disagreements disappear when you're focusing on the work of the Church.

If you did the wrong thing for the right reason, God will more easily forgive than if you did the right thing for the wrong reason.

God does weigh the hearts; there also is the example of Rahab the Harlot in the "Hall of Faith" in Hebrews, who lied to those seeking the Israelite spies.
