I commend your intentions.

I remember once during a Scriptural debate I had with my head pastor, he interrupted our interchange to exclaim, “Face it, you’re hooked! You love it!”

He meant that I was hooked on debating Scripture, and on trying to win arguments. He and others were trying to get me to go to Seminary.

He was wrong, and I left that meeting very disheartened that he did not understand me. All I cared about was arriving at the truth of any matter, whether I was right or wrong.

Few take this road. Most people believe what they are told and will go to great length to defend it, right or wrong. Some can be very glad they were told the truth, others not so much.
