In that case we better keep it going

You could be right. Could you ask it in a different way?

You asked a question “Why is it everyone keeps looking outside themselves…” and then answered it with an assertion (which which I agree) re: the promises of God that you learned from scripture.

This was not to “score a point” but simply to call attention to how often we who have been raised with scriptural knowledge take it for granted.

Good morning dassa,

People in the early Christian movement certainly had theological disagreements among themselves. And people in the Christian movement today clearly have theological disagreements among themselves.

Politicians disagree on politics, economists disagree on economics, doctors disagree on medicine...and people disagree with others on these things...and nearly everything else as well.

Kinda like people on the same team regarding politics, or people on the same team regarding economics...or people on the same team regarding pretty much anything else. Different people sometimes see things differently...even people on the same team. There’s nothing wrong with that. At all. We’re not all a bunch of stamped out cookie cutter automatons. Diversity and disagreements within the body of believers has existed since its inception.

Do you agree with every other conservative (many millions of them in this country alone) on every single facet of conservative thought…? I doubt it. Does that lack of absolute consensus discredit conservatism…? Nope; not at all.

That would be a valid comparison if anyone had ever claimed that conservatism was founded on an "infallible" book handed down from God.

Understood, but Christianity is not “founded on an “infallible” book handed down from God.”
