It won't hurt the 'righteous' to love

Dear fellow Believer: Stop accusing other Christians of abandoning truth just because you disagree on a single topic. It's so condescending. - @brandonhatmaker

This is the main reason I've been fighting for the other side. How dare you question a person's faith, relationship with God, ability to hear from him or understand, or make sweeping assumptions that they are being directed by the devil, confused by him, or anything else, just because of YOUR understanding/misunderstanding of the Bible or Christianity!

People get on their superior Christian high horse and then try to shut down any conversation that questions them, in the name of "God is not the author of confusion." Maybe it is you who are confused... Maybe it is not. However, YOU are not God, so don't put him in your box. His ways have always been higher than ours... So to think you have him all figured out is PEAK human narcissism. We all do it, I'm just learning to admit it.

You know what I stand on? The word of God. Yet, I somehow get different interpretations from the scriptures than other Christians. Kind of how we got so many denominations, kind of how we can hear 15 totally different sermons on one scripture.

Fact is, most people interpretations of biblical text is based on current culture, nationalism, generational storytelling, heirarchy, personal agendas, etc...

The thing that bothers me about the religious, and especially about the black church that I know and grew up in, is that if anyone disagrees, if anyone has a different interpretation on a text that is highly subjective (if you want to be real), then they aren't as "saved" or this is the "end times" or whatever else they want to say to set themselves apart and seem "more holy."

Bottomline, no one has it right, and you won't get it right everytime. But, it won't hurt your righteous a** to love somebody, that can never be wrong.
