But, what if they dismissed your viewpoint as antiquated, thought the hang up on the issue is yours.

Again, it is a time and place situation. But, if you are referring to this board, then I will discuss my views and will openly tell my friends why I think they are wrong and they can tell me why they think I'm wrong. We don't have to agree, but we can debate the issues to the brink of insanity sometimes and get a little "irrational" at other times. At the end of the day, we can still walk away as friends and with love in our hearts (although it may take some of us a day or two to get over it). ;D

The really cool thing is that over the past few weeks, we have had some great discussions about religion and homosexuality and it hasn't turned into a he said/she said/blame BBG fight. And that alone speaks volumes about how far we have come from just a few short months ago!!
:cheer1

"Some people won't let the Bible get in the way of what they believe"

~Andrew Wommack

I do not like that quote because different religions believe different things and they all use the same bible. (okay some of us might have extra, but you get what I mean)

To GD: I do not think discussions hurt. I am not quite sure why anyone feels that way. I know my intent when I discuss is not to change their thought, but to make them think that there could be another thought on a subject. I do not believe that with something as complex as the bible that one person or one religion could have all the perfect answers. I would be willing to bet that we could all come up with different answers and meanings for almost any piece of scripture. I do not see that as a bad thing and many times I have been able to learn more or apply what I believed to anothers thought on the same scripture and get a better understanding.

I don't think analyzing scripture is a bad thing so long as our sincere intent is to find the true meaning of God's word. Some (not any of us regulars, I think) would do so to try and pervert, disprove, or justify sin. I've ran into that bunch many times.

Honest question, Deever--When you mention "different religions", do mean different denominations of Christianity, or different as in Muslim, Hindu, etc? I ask because I'm struggling to understand your meaning there.

I do agree than no single brand of Christianity has it completely right. I am a Baptist, but I do differ with the rank and fold on some things. I am Christian first; denomination is well down the line in priority.

I do mean all, as in different denominations and anyone else that uses a bible. As I said in another topic I have even been told here that I am wrong and the scripture interpretation that I used was not what it meant. (One was in explanation, once it was general conversation I believe.) Not a big deal now or then, but that is still the point I am making. I am Catholic the others were Baptist and flat out two different meanings from passages. Are they right, maybe. Am I, maybe. I am willing to listen to others though and realize my interpretation (or churches) or theirs could be wrong and something else was meant.

Well, Catholics and Protestants are both Christian. I know there are some small differences in beliefs and styles of worship; but I would think we'd be in agreement on the big stuff. Homosexuality for example; it seems to me that The Bible is pretty clear on it. Do you agree that it is sinful?

As for totally different religions like Islam or Hindu, for example; their beliefs really don't matter to me or factor into my sense of right and wrong.

Protestants are also varied - does your church believe in dispensationalism or covenant theology? Are you a pre-tribulation believer or a post-tribulation believer? What are the means of salvation, is it predestined? All believe in the infallacy of the Bible, but have some different interpretations in what they specifically believe.

We just meet and eat covered dish meals.
