I agree with everything you wrote here. I didn't mean to imply that I disagreed with your other post. I was just trying to point out the dangers of taking it to extremes. The "I'm ok, you're ok" was a reference to a book on philosophy/psychology that was popular when I was in college. The book was good and I agree with it's premise, but it wasn't a book on religious beliefs. I was just using it as a crossover example that may not have been a good idea since many may not be familiar with the book.

I also want to clarify that I said I only see hints of this on the board, not outright examples of it. I've also heard it refered to as being so open minded that your brains fall out. Sometimes we get so caught up with not wanting to offend, we accept things we shouldn't, if we honestly and truly are convicted that something is wrong. We should always, ALWAYS love. But that doesn't mean we should always accept what we don't believe is true. A personal example is my attitude toward gays. As most who know me at all know, I don't believe in gay sex. I will love and accept as a person and fellow believer a gay man who is in a gay relationship. But I can't and won't say I think it's ok. Most gay people I know understand this and accept me in the same way, as a fellow believer who, in their eyes, is terribly wrong in what I believe, lol. But there are a few who demand that I agree with them that's gay sex is OK. While I acknowledge that I don't know everything and can be wrong, this is not what I am currently convicted of, so I can't go that far. But there are some who may feel that to be loving means to agree with them that what they are doing is OK with God. That's what I don't agree with. I will let the Holy Spirit convict them of their error, if that is God's wish, as they will let Him convict me of mine. I guess another way to put it is to agree to disagree.

As I said, I wasn't disagreeing with your post, just raising a word of caution about taking things too far.
