one of the “leaders” started thumping his bible, disagreeing with me becuase he believes “what his bible sez” and that settled it. When I tried to show what the bible DOES say about it he became a brick wall. I finally had to say that what he was standing behind is his interpretation of what the bible said

ROFL!!!!

I wonder if you realize just how riotously funny I find that particular exchange.

—I wonder if you realize just how riotously funny I find that particular exchange.—

I thought it was funny at the time, though I didn’t dare crack a smile. The whole reason I brought it up was to give an example of a bit of theology that reasonable Christians can disagree on because both sides have merit.

That guy would have none of it. It was LITERALLY like arguing with a liberal. I’ve got him in my sights if, for no other reason, than to use him as an example to the rest of the congregation. Hopefully he may change his mind on some of this stuff. I’m not talking about him changing his position but, rather, on “non bullet doctrines” realizing that his interpretation is not necessarily the equivalent of God’s divine inspiration. This is especially true when he refuses to consider what scripture actually says. He’s not familiar with the greek or hebrew lexicons and is one of those “King James Only” believers. I hate to pigeon hole him and fought it for months, but man, he fits it to a T.

I hope we can be friends some day. Seriously. If only he can figure out that I’m not trying to attack his position, but only his “my way or the highway” attitude about it.
