"Newspeople", comedians, politicians, the entertainment industry ad nauseum, enthusiastically bashes our beliefs but holds other religions, that which God calls an abomination, abortion, pre-marital sex etc. etc. in high esteem. The moral decline is one of free fall, and yet mankind has always been the same, its just that now the perversity is out of the closet and waving its freak flag high. But your last paragraph was the one that struck me the most. I need humility, the full understanding that I know nothing fully, so I need tread softly, gently when in discussion with other Christian friends, for I believe in Christ as the only way by which I may be saved and by his grace and mercy my fervent prayer is that I may stand in front of my maker one day, writtebn in the Lambs Book of life, not just because of punishment otherwise, but mainly because our maker is so good, full of love and grace, along with justice and to spend an eternity under his wing, worshiping him, bathed by his glorious light. I know little, so I dare not judge or think I have the handle on all doctrine, because I don't. I need to keep an open mind and if I disagree with a fellow Christian Lord keep me open to the very real possibility that they could be as correct in their interpretation as I think I am, put my disagreement on a back burner, pray for illumination on the subject if my maker deems to enlighten me and not be too concerned if I still don't get an answer. For HE is the potter I the clay. He can show or not show me whatever HE will. And I am fine with that. So Lord I pray that I emphasize our agreements and leave it to you to do as you will, while I recall all the many, many points of agreement with my brother or sister and love them. Thanks for your insight as the formerly blind man said to the Jewish leaders, "I only know that I was blind but now I see" And Christ did it, Christ did it all.
