Disagreement, Enjoyment, &... God's Love?

This past week, I have enjoyed being in disagreement with a couple of folks. Enjoying disagreement? Yes. Well, not the fact that we disagreed, but in how we dealt with it. Let me explain. And this explanation does come from looking at disagreements through the lens of what it means to be a Christian.

Also, I am speaking of Christians disagreeing with other Christians when discussing what the Bible teaches. I am addressing Christians who are honestly pursuing a maturing relationship with Christ. The concern is how we disagree with each other. Topics such as disagreeing with heresies, atheism, or anything other than the above-stated concern are beyond the scope of what is being addressed.

Thank you for understanding.
