Question....how Biblical is such debates? Just wondering how we are to avoid passionate concern in discussions where souls are at stake? It's hard for me to non nonchalantly walk away when I do KNOW in my heart of hearts a theological belief is false and potentially destructive? So imagine someone dying and finding themselves in hell, thinking back on our last 'discussion' and wondering...why did the let me go so easily?
Is there a difference in a theological debate 'about theological beliefs' and actually speaking to people we are watching slip backward....embracing things as truth that are spiritually deadly? It's hard for me to pat them on the back and say, 'No biggie bro...'
Kind of playing the devil's advocate here but are there times when we can't just 'agree to disagree' as if eternal consequences are potentially at stake? When should we get passionate and persuade with passion....
