Why love does win!

I simply can’t get beyond theology that is held so tightly that it’s incapable of allowing for a differing opinion of the biblical text.

I am not suggesting that someone needs to practice a differing perspective, but that is entirely different. When we fail in our humility toward other humans, we also fail in our humility before God. When we absolutely believe that we hold the one correct interpretation of the biblical text, we fail to hold humility deeply, and we ultimately become poorer reflections of the risen Christ.
