That’s so true. I love theology and philosophy, but I tend to stay away from getting into discussion with most people about it because it just turns into a one-up contest and it doesn’t edify or build up. Really, it completely goes against theology which is there to glorify God.

The people who get involved in those one-upmanship arguments also seem to the people who believe in the Gospel ABOUT Jesus rather than the Gospel OF Jesus. That is, they know a lot about Him but does not necessarily mean they are becoming more like Him. There are many, many more people in this country who are involved with the Gospel ABOUT Jesus … because we think they are both the same thing. But I have to wonder sometimes … are they?

I wish I had been around for the original discussion. It seems that the one-up-man-ship that we see is as a result of the fact that any theological position when taken to its extreme, seems to garner more attention.

As you imply to me without saying directly, such behavior/attitudes remind me of 3 year-olds arguing.
