[ And so my conclusion is that we ought in the first place to act charitably towards one another, Christian and non-Christian alike. This is clearly what God wants for us. Winning a debate with regard to theological points won't get you any closer to God. In the end, Christianity is not about the correctness of your theological knowledge; it's about how you live your life. ]

True.. We need to learn to tolerate each other.. as christians and otherwise..
We see what we see.. What is... IS.. and What ain't.... AIN'T..

Expecting someone to see what they do not see is silly..
In my life I've learned there are levels "of seeing".. I see more than I did at 20,30,etc..

Who sees "the most"?.. or the most/more accurately is mute..
What you see Now, is what you see now..

Must be WHY denominations are practical.. and..
Jesus did not forbid denominations(sheep pens).. but called them out of them.. (Jn ch 10)
also why the Holy Spirit is active and working and germane..
We all have our qualia.. adjusting our observer problem..

Being a christian is not about how accurate you think you are..
But about WHO you are.. even dumb christians can be christians..
There can be some dumb family members.. i.e. WHO you are not what you believe..
Who is the dumbest?.. Now there is an explosive subject..

We know who the smartest christians are... if not, JUST ask them..
However, they may not tolerate you..
