>From my perspective, most of the theology issues are relatively minor. Concepts about the incarnation, or justification by faith, the role of the faith of Christ, etc. are all enjoyable considerations, but I often yawn at the huge about of time spent discussing these obvious issues. On the other hand, when I see someone break the ninth commandment and bear false witness against someone else, that is very serious. I try my best to help the other person understand their error. What good does it do for them to understand all the mysteries of the universe and yet not have love? They can get all their theology right, but if they sin against others, what good is that?

For me, John is probably the most difficult person to communicate with on the list. He rarely understands what I try to communicate with him. I have been evaluating this, and I think that perhaps I have thought too highly of him in the past. I am beginning to realize that I need to expect less, which means that I will decrease the level of communication that I attempt with him. Peace be with you.
