294 – Are you tired of all the theological debates?
Social media is full of people from different churches "explaining" why their theology is right and everyone else's theology is wrong.
The basic problem is they are defining what it means to be a true Christian by doctrinal beliefs instead of actually living the teachings of Jesus in their daily lives.
This mistake has gone on for at least 1,700 years.
It's time to stop the theological debate mindset, trying to prove you are right.
In this week's episode I talk about:
- The attitude behind this urge to debate and condemn everyone who disagrees with you theologically
- It’s not how Jesus wants you to share your faith
- How to interact with someone who's trying to debate with you
- And most importantly, a more effective way to share your faith
Jesus didn't prove he was the Messiah by his words. He told people to look at what he was doing, because what he did was fulfilling the Messianic prophecies.
We need to follow his example.
Quit trying to prove you are a Christian, or disprove someone else is, based on doctrines and theology. Let people see how you are following in Jesus’s footsteps in healing and blessing mankind.
