The Plight of the Liberal: - Page 5

Dan, if I was your enemy I would never be able to share anything of value with you most likely. If I am your friend we can at least dialogue. Friends have differences and I see there are a few between me and you. When you say that you know a thing, there is also how do you know what you know? If our epistemology is liberally centered, as yours must be since you take offense to my usage, then we will come to know certain things accordingly. However, we should be willing to temper ourselves and be guided as we are "coming to know" more each day.

Kinda reminds me of the country of the blind...

We can get used to anything and think it is normal...

There are differences that I am willing to overlook ... how about you? Friends?

If you'll hurry, I'll be glad to show you how it is not. First, I need you to show me why you believe otherwise. Can you manage?

I read your post and Agree with the "bases" of what you said.

It's... presentation? labeling? wordage? (not sure of exactly the word im looking for..) comes off wrong. I'm assume not on purpose, but i definitely see why and where DA is coming from.

I think you realize you are a liberal, and I am conservative for the most part and do not like the essence of anything I might post. I posted this thread to point us all back to what is essential and that as we move forward there are some questions we should ask:

1. Am I attempting to make more room for my flesh to glory?
2. How much room have I made to glorify God lately?
3. Will this liberty prove too heavy for me in this race?
4. Who is in control here? Me or God."

I liked that better than the big essay you wrote though :-P

Is dialogue all about ignoring differences? Or is it learning to deal with them in some way?
