"opinions are what makes the world go round, and reading them can be very
enlightening, also giving insight to how others feel, which creates a bond,
so to speak, a kinship if you will, even if you are not particularly in agreement.
it's kind of like taking a cruise together.

personally, we have found that if we find ourselves communicating about
what we perceive is an unresolvable subject, we have to be very careful,
if we claim to be Christian, that we be not be ensnared in contention and strife,
and returning railing for railing, for if we do these things, we become the
servants of sin, which, as we have been taught, we want to avoid this at all costs.

it's a common wisdom, but we must apply it with grace, (agree to disagree)
and move-on to a subject that will be profitable in the eyes of our Saviour:

we must remember, 'For whom I am over-come by, to them I become servant).'

many, many times, just acknowledging our Love for others is the best we can
do in a situation, and personally, I think of this as a miracle."
