I'm always going to have issues with people who demand we take actions that are contrary to God's laws. If someone chooses to reject God's laws, fine. That's between that person and God, but the moment that person demands I do the same on his or her behalf, my answer will be "no" every single time.
And you know, from my experience, the person demanding I take a position against my conscience is usually less interested in nuanced conversation than I am.
Well played. Can I be a Christian and still have my beliefs in your eyes? I struggle to interpret what God’s “laws” are depending on the lens I explore.
we have to be careful to judge God's precepts against a consistent view of God that is based on what he's revealed to us and not according to what we want him to be. There's certainly nuance there, but there's also a surprising amount of historical agreement. That's where I start.
if someone refuses to even have the conversation and wishes only to destroy my faith, a nuanced conversation is going to be difficult.
Agreed- When people completely ignore the wisdom of religion pruned over millennia I question them more. Thank you for this.
