"NONE OF US HAS BEEN 'PROVEN RIGHT' YET, BUT WE HAVE BEEN 'PROVEN WRONG' MANY TIMES IN THE PAST..."
Dear Doves,
When we critique one
another's interpretation of the Scriptures we should NOT flatly
proclaim that someone is 'wrong' or use any other similar negative word
because NONE of us has been 'proven right' yet. Rather, we should
use language of respectfulness and use phrases like 'you could be
wrong' or 'you may be mistaken' or 'have you thought of this
alternative'?
To say that someone else's opinion is 'definitely
wrong' indicates that you think that your opinion is 'definitely
right'. Who among us can claim that our opinion is 'definitely right'?
Certainly NOT ME!
Your Brother in Christ,
Bruce Warner
