Dad's Ramblings -- Doctrinal Differences

'We find no evil this man; but if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him, let us not fight against God.' "
 
                                                                   Acts 23:9
 
Even though the scribes of the Pharisees did not subscribe to all that Paul was teaching, they recognized that he was not an evil man. Perhaps this might be a good approach for relating to people with whom I disagree with on theological issues. Too often Christians demonize those who hold different doctrinal positions. Perhaps it would be better to refrain from attacking other people, lest we end up in a "fight against God."   Who knows: when I get to heaven, I may discover they are right.
 
Today's Thought: Disagreement about doctrinal positions does not allow for personal attacks.
 
Have a careful day. Love you.
