It is sad how much Christians fight over doctrines which are not essential.\u00a0 We typically call these secondary<\/em> teachings.\u00a0 From which mode of baptism is biblical to head coverings to predestination, there are all kinds of ways Christians choose to fight amongst themselves.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I came up with a question for those who believe the Bible speaks clearly on one of these non essential doctrines: How do you explain that equally learned and devoted Christians disagree on this issue?\u00a0 Some dodge the force of the question and simply say, “But the Bible clearly teaches God created in six, twenty-four hour days.”\u00a0 At this point I will try to get the person to appreciate that they are saying, even if not explicitly, that the other side is either not as scholarly, not as devoted to God, or perhaps both.\u00a0 If the person does not seem to appreciate these things, my experience has taught me to move on to another subject!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Did you know I wanted to be an interior decorator?\u00a0 Only a few remain interested in fighting with me.
