It is a point of doctrine Christians in good faith disagree on. Why do we continually have to whack each other in the face about it in these forums?
"Why do we continually have to whack each other in the face about it in these forums?"
Who's whacking? - its been a fairly civilised discussion on all sides as far as Religion Forum threads go.
I posted the thread because someone had asked for information about this subject, but I'm quite happy to get into debate on it as long as it remains charitable.

Wisdom! I am learning a lot but the level of contempt and attitude shown by some here (one in particular) is certainly not very Christian. Christ was the Messiah, who died for our sins so that we might live forever with He and the Father in heaven. ALL else proceeds from that whether you agree in the IC (I do) or not is not (AS)important as believing in Christ's divinity and sacrifice. Are they important, YES, but lets remember this is a family fued. We are all still on the same team here.
I will not call my Baptist bretheren "Heretics" because of their views, not will I accept their counter-claims as valid. The goal is to grow in Christ working together to discover the truth to the questions that divide us.
