No. This goes back to our discussion about what it means to be in unity and
speak the same thing. Much of the Bible is open to interpretation, but we
should always be working toward agreement instead of disagreement. No
Christian should consider any Biblical text "open to disagreement." Perhaps
you might say, "it is open to agreement." :-)
You are trying way to hard to be instructional. We can disagree about anything, David -- and you and I do at least 90% of the time. At least coming from you to me. We should never work to disagree. That would be ridiculous. In fact, it is so ridiculous as to NOT merit any instructional comment. Why you think I need this kind of instruction is beyond me. Why you think that I am stating a goal (in "disagreement") to work for is, well, I don't know what.
