When it comes to God, the majority view is most likely quite wrong:

Dangerous ground. You don't consider it prideful to think that you alone know the Truth, and all other Christians are mistaken and probably not Christian anyway?

Again, another strawman. I never made any such claim.

For the umpteenth time I offer this metaphor:

The words of God are like a seven faceted diamond.

Christians look at the diamond facing it from different aspects and therefore see things a bit differently.

But it is the same diamond and the same Light.

God is Light. Without the Light, there is nothing to be seen.

Any Christian will do fine as long as he stays in the Light.

This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. - I John 1:5-7

We were not made with a cookie cookie. Peter was not like John who was not like Paul who was not like doubting Thomas - but Christ chose every single, individual, one of them.

God's living Creation is a riot of color - a beautiful masterpiece. He doesn't mix all the colors into one on His palette.

To God be the glory!
