Have you
considered how we may often make a stand on a topic over which we may have no
concrete proof? Our beliefs become our reality.
As an example, I have debated
evolution versus creationism in the past with some people. I was someone who grew up learning
about evolution in school, and it made sense to me. And then I walked into a
Bible study where this was the topic under discussion for the evening and even though at the time I said I don't know how God created the
world, and maybe He used what looks like evolution, I realised in the ensuing weeks that
my beliefs had changed, and I now firmly believe in creationism, and I leave the
details to God. But consider, the way the world was formed did not
change, only my beliefs changed. I am not saying you must doubt your beliefs,
but I am trying to show that you should not argue with someone and say he or she is wrong,
when that person is just as right in his or her own mind. Such a stance will cause division. State your case with full conviction as to your beliefs,
and allow someone else his or her own viewpoint, and try to understand why the person sees this way through his or
her lenses of perception. But, you are entitled to believe you are right! Or, what do you
think?...
