4 More Principles for disagreeing about tertiary issues:

4. Acceptance and agreement are not the same things. I can and should lovingly accept someone without agreeing with their position on an issue.

It is a sin to abstain from the fellow believers you disagree with.

If we will remember, not how bad we are but how good God is in light of our rebellion and sinfulness, we're going to be really quick to accept our brothers and sisters we disagree with.

When consumerism is your approach to church the Body of Christ is harmed.

5. Discover points of agreement, and specify points of disagreement because clarity contributes to community, while ambiguity contributes to confusion.

6. Adhere to the principles of critical thinking without lowering oneself to criticizing.

I don’t have to criticizes to think critically on issues.

We cannot digest ideas at the same speed we are given them. We must think critically about the world around us.

To think critically is to think deeply about the ideas around us.

Thinking critically about ideas is one of the greatest compliments we can give to others.

7. The end the goal of disagreement is to grow personally and together as followers of Jesus because the table of grace is big, and there is room for us all.
