People just refuse to even consider thinking differently about this issue due to the pressure of their "fellowship". They've seen the castigation and do not want that sort of thing whether they honestly believe the same way or not.

I'm not going to mention one fundamental difference you and I have over I Corinthians, because you know what it is. LOL! I have just as much problem with that as you do with what you said in your post.
And really, when you go over the divergent views and beliefs of others, we are just trading one thing for another, IMO. There are always going to be differences.
I was reading
Romans 15:5-6 in the NLT - "May God, who gives this patience and encouragement, help you live in complete harmony with each other, as is fitting for followers of Christ Jesus. Then all of you can join together with one voice, giving praise and glory to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."
That really spoke to me and I thought of AFF.
