ARGUING FOR CHRIST!

I was on a social media recently and a group of people where arguing. This debate was particularly interesting because both sides where arguing for Christ! The only difference was the method each group has adapted to worship his god.
Both group believed their method to be fool proof and inspired by God. Though they agreed to worship the same God they believed some will end up in hell because their mode of worship is not acceptable to their shared Chi.
Their argument bothered on the subjective aspects of each man’s doctrine, their understanding or misunderstanding of each other’s preference and their varied reasons behind their choices. They were trying to woo each other to their own group through both sympathetic and cohesive means but neither seems to be changing their minds, then the arguing got so bad that they started exchanging insults and doling out threats to each other in no small measure. They weren’t arguing logically anymore it had now become a chat to out wit each other and silence the other party. Nobody wants to shift ground or acknowledge any form of misdemeanour on his part. It was a battle ground where everyone is right and nobody is wrong.
At this point i tried to put a stop to the nonsense act and i called them all ‘arrogant debaters’ (this was supposed to make them re evaluate themselves in light of what they had posted on the site) but that didn’t work, oops!
Then i called to mind strategy number two. The morale killer, thinking to myself certainly this would work it has never failed to work. Then i carefully read through all the chats and started picking on the illogical things they had put there and started calling it all up to reasoning, this caused an uncomfortable silence for a while until one bold enough ignored every illogical statement, ignored the questioning and reasoning and decided to go head strong into another phase of disjointed argument at this point Sighing i bowed out just to save my pride and not be dragged into the mess.
This experience brings to question our attitude to discussing religion. Is it in our place to argue for /against a religion, are we supposed to make categorical statement about people’s eternal destinations. What are the dangers of getting involved in discussions of this nature? Basically does our Chi encourage debates?

  2. for the purpose of enlightenment and religious tolerance, one might venture into a debate with sects from ones or opposite religion but this attempt requires a trained mind or else it might result to what you just called " an arrogant debates"

    the several inter religios violence in this country might just not happen if the teachers/followers of each religion sets their mind to understand the other religion and not criticize/despise them.

  7. One part compost to two or three parts potting soil would be a sufficient combination.
    Native plants or at least plants adapted to similar conditions as your region will have a better chance of growing and thriving.
    Again, using companion planting techniques will help your organic garden flourish.
