Theology on Theology

There is right and there is wrong. There are absolutes. No matter what my opinion or interpretation, it doesn’t matter. I look at it this way, it I start walking toward the edge of a tall building, jump off and say “I can fly”, the end result will still be the same, regardless of my opinion or what I believe about the situation.
That being said, none of us has the slightest clue whether our view of the truth really is or not. We may have reasons for our convictions, we may have Scriptures, but the truth is so did the Pharisees. There are things from Scripture about which there can be no debate. Jesus is the only way to heaven. The only way to believe otherwise is to reject red letters. I don’t budge on that. Whether you want to sprinkle or dunk on the other hand, that isn’t an eternal question.
I have theology I hold to be true, and it goes much further than eternal issues. However, I could be wrong. In fact, I’m most certainly wrong on some of it. You are too. I am not discounting the value of a deep foundation of theology, but my point is that I will choose not to sacrifice a relationship over something I could be wrong about. I will not lose my ability to co-labor with other believers to reach a lost and dying world because they sprinkle and I dunk.

Christians around the world have split into more sects and denominations and left good churches because of petty arguments over opinion, ignoring the admonition of Christ to be one body. I just look at it all and think that, when we get to eternity, we will realize how little some of the stuff we made such a big deal about really mattered.
You and I will disagree from time to time. If we don’t, one of us isn’t doing any thinking. Disagreement is not an indication it is time to break fellowship, it’s an opportunity to expand our thinking and grow. Basically, as long as we can agree on the basics, the rest of my theology is adaptable, because I have to be willing to change as I learn.
Anything short of that is making an idol out of my theology, making it higher than God’s word. Let’s find the points on which we agree, work together to accomplish something great for Christ in our lifetime, and maintain an attitude of acceptance on the areas that don’t matter.
