They believe that they interpret it correctly. You beleive that you interpret it correctly. Both sides can find just as much as evidence as the other, that the counter position is wrong.
Maybe YOU are wrong. Ever consider that? Suppose that you are displaying as much nastiness as the side that you oppose...
disclaimer: nastiness comes from both sides of the fence. not everyone on either side of the fence has a bad spirit.
Just maybe God allowed diversity on purpose, and the true test of truth is HOW we love and treat one another rather than getting some ideology perfectly correct??? Just Thinking!!
Wonder how we are doing with that????

We have to sometimes just let go and forget ...that often makes us better persons...
We all get done wrong...It is hpw we react under pressure that shows if the jewel is inside us....
I think we all have our right to opinions and how we see the Bible but we should not mistreat those that see differently than we do...I see to much hate...we need to be baptized with love...
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!!

Maybe not as bad as we sometimes think. I mean look at AFF, we mostly all get on well despite difference, in cases big differences in ideology. Very rarely do I ever see anyone outright hateful here.
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!"
