Bible Note: Greetings, justme; Thank you so much for your very kind words. There's a big difference between speaking the truth in love and speaking the truth in anger. As you said, Christians will disagree on interpretations and points of doctrine, but we're still called to love and encourage one another. And, as Hank noted in his reply, there is this little thing known as the Golden Rule, not to mention the forum rules. As a Presbyterian, I thank God for those Southern Baptist missionaries who were in Bolivia in 1983. I may not agree with all of their doctrine but they sure must have gotten the Gospel right.
