this is all I've read so far
I'm sure you've heard that saying
Being middle of the road means getting run over?
Jesus was pretty black and white himself
He said such things as "If you deny Me before men, I will deny you before the Father"
That's not too gray, is it?
I can't compare my judgement to Christ. I'm sure He was much more clear than, quite frankly, any man or woman alive on this earth.
While before God everything is black and white, there is also the fact God gives mankind
some liberty. I sometimes think God allows us far more liberty to make the mistakes and learn the lessons that either bring us to Christ or reap coals on our heads than man allows. However, man usually takes that liberty and abuses it which hurts others.
We are left always feeling like we are threading the needle when dealing with more secular political matters and we all have our own opinions.
I honestly can't pretend I can always get the needle right, and those who believe they always have God's answer often worry me.
To then say that there should be some kind of societal consensus over what is essentially just the opinions of a group of unsaved and potentially saved people who got together to make a living is, I think, expecting too much out of those who are unsaved in the main.
We want to make sure we are providing accurate facts to people, but if we are bringing people back home from far off, the journey back might be longer, I would imagine.
But if course, it's just my opinion. When someone else has dug in their heels, you have to learn how to bring peace and understanding to the situation, whether and how it might be possible.
