I would agree with you on this if you were talking about confronting enemies of Christ. But you are not dong that here on this boeard. Here you are tearing down fellow christians.

When I say we must be respectful of one another, I am talking about Christians being respectful of one another. I have no doubt that both you and me are saved and on our way to heaven. Free will is something that we diasagree on, and when we get to heaven I suppose we find out who was right, but our disagreement will not keep either one of from getting there. You have not cornered the market on biblical understanding, and I highly doubt that your doctrines are 100% without error, and that goes for my doctrines too. I don't believe anyone is 100% correct in their understanding of the Bible.

So yes, I agree, we need to be the enforcer and defender when it comes to the enemies of Christianity, but NOT to other Christians.

On this you are 100% in error.

The greatest enemies of Christianity have always been those who called themselves Christians.

So we don't just give a pass to a guy because he says- I am a Christian and you ought to respect me (by respect the idea is- don't destroy my ideals, my theology, my philosophy, etc...)

If we did that there would have BEEN no Council of Nicea!

If we did that there would have BEEN no Apostles Creed!

If we did that there would have BEEN no Council of Chacedon!

If we did that there would have BEEN no Protestant Reformation!

So we ignore personality and claims and we cut right to the quick- we scrutinize arguments, ideals- and when they stink of heresy we unsheathe the Sword of the Spirit and we seek to DEMOLISH those arguments.

And here is the thing I am saying to ALL CHRISTIANS- YOU DON'T GET TO OPT OUT OF THIS!

You are commissioned by Christ Himself, by the Apostles of Christ, by the Spirit of God within you to do this with all vehemence.

It is sin for you to neglect this duty of demolishing arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God.

It is my opinion that the NIV is ungodly, it is your opinion that I am ungodly...fine.

But where does the Bible say that you should rebuke me and demolish my beliefs/opinion about the NIV? How can you prove your statement that I am ungodly with scripture?

It is simply your opinion, it is not in the Bible.

And how do you "know" what God appreciates? Maybe He appreciates my rejection of the NIV since it diminishes the Deity of Christ.

John

Everyone has an opinion john...you know the rest of the story, right?
