Lin,

I have disagreed with Cheryl on several things but not on the essentials.

I am glad that you brought this up. For some reason Mark seems to think that if egals disagree on any issue, then the egal position doesn’t hold any water. That is certainly not true. We can disagree on the non-essentials and we can learn from each other for surely we all understand that no one is 100% right.

Mark also seems to think that no one is allowed to disagree with me on this blog. That is also far from the truth. This blog is a place where we can share our opinions and the things that we have learned and we can passionately debate our own views. There have been quite a few differences here that have been aired. There is nothing wrong with that. If someone shows me where my view is legitimately wrong, I can check their rebuttal against the Scriptures and if the Scripture does indeed affirm their position, I have the opportunity to change. We all can do this and this is the place to debate these matters in a respectful and brotherly way. No one needs to feel rejected even if their view isn’t accepted. The more information that is given for us to check against the measuring stick of God’s word, the better for all of us. Disagreement will always be welcomed as long as it is respectful and the issues are the things that are debated and focused on, not personal attacks.

I sure appreciate that you have felt free to disagree agreeably. 🙂
