I can be with and around those that see differently than I do however I do not want to kill them...I hope that after I am gone they will remember me with a sweet feeling even though we were different.
When your focus is the harvest, the sweetness of Jesus just seeps thru, you have been equipped, my dear sister for the harvest! The ministry of reconciliation of sinners to our loving heavenly Father. The drippings of the love that brought us the cross!!

Re: Imagine no opposing opinion

I am very agreeable, but have no problem disagreeing with some people, who shall remain nameless.

In answer to the thread starter. I think disagreement sometimes does bring about good relationships with others. And sometimes I learn more from people that disagree with me.

However, I only agree with NotForSale, Sister Alvear, BeenThinkin, John Atkinson, Daniel, TroubleMaker, and Berk on this thread.

Agreement was at every turn, and you always got a pat on the back for saying and doing the right thing.

Would tyrannts rule, or would the World be a better place?

Does opposition actually bring out the real truth, and is the argument necessary to validate reality?
It's easy if you try.

Re: Imagine no opposing opinion

Maybe an example would clarify my real point.

I say, "The Earth is the Center of the Universe". Everyone agrees with me. No one disagrees with me. Everyone believes what I'm saying.....Except for one. A man named Gallileo.

Even the Church lables this man a Heretic, going against not only the teachings of Science, but against Scripture.

He refuses to buckle under the pressure and argues the point. He's placed under house arrest for the rest of his life, and forced to recant his ideas.

Well, we all know, his findings and ideas proved to be true and Gallileo has been deemed one of the greatest scientists of all time, causing the birth of modern science.

What if Gallileo made the choice to "Obey" those who oppossed him?

I am sure people told him "Either believe that the Earth is the center of the Universe, or you might as well throw the whole Bible away!"
