“No, just a mean Jew who accepted Christ, and tired of the crap.”
I submit to you that the “crap” on this board is actually a sign that people really believe what they claim to believe. The only people you will find that easily cast aside their theological distinctives in favor of “unity” are the liberals. The reason they set their beliefs aside is because they don’t really hold to anything.
Are the people really believe what they claim to believe actually right? In many cases probably not. But it may be in the (sometimes heated) exchange of ideas that people who really care about truth might come to see Christ above the dull dross of religion.
“The only people you will find that easily cast aside their theological distinctives in favor of unity are the liberals.”
No, I expect nothing of the kind. There are three instructions given by St. Paul in the Romans 14:
“Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind.” (about whatever denominational issues)
-and-
“Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.”
[not exactly fulfilled by acrimonious exchanges about denominational issues]
-and-
The Roman 14 quote oft-repeated above about how to work through these things.
