A sign you are not living on mission...
 
"A good sign of Christians who aren't living on mission is that we sit around and debate theology."

Do you agree?

What do you mean? We are Apostolic and we don't agree on ANYTHING!

Perhaps the quote was misrepresented, taken out of context even. Maybe what is meant is "If all you do, to the exclusion of everything else..." or even "... the majority of your time is spent arguing... this is a good indication you are not living your life on mission with others."

We all know the types, while even fearing ourselves to be the type. We spend more time arguing our preferences and minute theological points with others than we do sharing God's story.

Disagree. I think that when Jesus was talking to the scholars in the temple, some people would have considered that debating. Discussing and learning from your friends doesn't have to take away from our "mission" of spreading the good news. Now if that's all you do, then it could possibly be a hindrance.

Edited to add: Just saw your next post explaining. lol

"Oh this isn't an argument! It is simply a series of contradictions."

"No it isn't."

You're a contradiction.
