RE: [TruthTalk] What is a Christian?

[Slade Henson]

The comment below gives me an opportunity to state what has been on my mind for a while. Why does TruthTalk succeed and why doesn't TruthTalk grow? It's all in the same word: antagonism.   We succeed because we bicker and wrestle each other over the less-weightier things of Scripture. If we were to suddenly agree on all points, one by one, we would leave the list.   We also do not grow because we bicker and wrestle each other over the less-weightier things of Scripture.   --slade -----Original Message----- From: Dave Hansen Sent: Tuesday, 18 January, 2005 00.24 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] What is a Christian? but G-d has us standing one two different shores of doctrine at this time. DAVEH:  I don't see that as a big problem for this type of forum at all.  Unfortunately, some do.  While the divide between us seems great at this time, I wonder if in the grand scheme of the Lord's Gospel, the fences we build on earth will be recognizable once we are on the other side of the veil.  So...maybe while we are here on earth, wouldn't it be nice if we could lower those fences enough to peek over on the other side occasionally?  It seems to me that TT is a great place where those with diverse opinions and beliefs can talk about our differences over those fences without letting friction heat the fuse of spiritual destruction to the point of ignition.  But...it does require a little effort from each one of us.
