Well here we are again, only this week I don’t like the lesson I’m learning. The last two were fun lessons, things I enjoyed. This week however is a hard one that I don’t like at all. I was reading my bible, (witch I highly recommend) when out of now where a verse I’ve read literally dozens of times hits me in the face.
Romans 14:1 Accept other believers who are weak in faith, and don’t argue with them about what they think is right or wrong.
This arguing thing is hard for me. I like to be right. I like to make sure others know I’m right. But this last week I’ve been trying my hardest not to argue about anything. Ohh man it’s not easy! But I’m working on it. The thing that I’ve found about arguing is that most arguments are about opinion or perspective. Neither of witch is a good reason to argue. Of course every one has an opinion, regardless of right or wrong, arguing seldom changes things. I believe in debate, there are two side to every coin, there is room for sharing your point of view. But if it escalates to arguing, chances are, you’ve already lost.

Like many things in the Bible, I don’t get it. The are “Beleivers” so they are people who are saved. Why can’t you argue with them if they are wrong about something?
Well I think there is a big difference between bringing correction to a bad situation and arguing with someone, believer or not. There is so much bad theology out there if you took time to argue with everyone who called themselves a believer but had a whacked perspective of the bible you’d have to quit your day job and be a full time arguer. Maybe you could be paid in SPAM!!! LOL
