I
thank God for your post. It is a model description of persistent back
and forth complex interchanges in these forums.
And,
Lord willing, I will remember and use your Wesley quote:
"In
essentials, unity. In non-essentials, liberty. In all things,
charity."
The
blessing of the forums is the ability to freely express ones thoughts
and feeling.
And
at times the spirit of that life which is only found in Christ Jesus
becomes marvelously evident.
The
regular local gatherings of the Assembly are the place where the
unity of heart and soul of the begotten again may be best manifested
as it was in the beginning in Jerusalem.
The
sort of regular gatherings of believers to remember the Lord's death
that I now attend are noted for hospitality.
Sharing
meals in one another's homes is perhaps the best way to get to know
one another.
And
much spiritual fellowship is established by individual praise and
prayer in the regular gatherings sharing the broken loaf and the cup.

and I, We are both set in our ways and beliefs. We have
disengaged because we are at the point where we would start throwing
lots of evidence and data at each other and ripping into the other's
logic. Not worth the effort or frustration on either of our parts.
Neither would convince the other and disharmony would exist where
none should. The difference is in our approaches. I'm coming from
science with faith backing it and he's coming from faith with science
backing it. That makes the conversation any further than it went [ –
] problematic. Thus we disengage and follow John Wesley's advice, "In
essentials, unity. In non-essentials, liberty. In all things,
charity."

I could give you my approach to the issue and he could give you his,
and you could then choose but it would be fruitless for us to present
to each other. We both believe we are correct and both of us are
tenacious to some degree (tenacity is a virtue although my wife
would disagree and say I'm stubborn as a [stubborn animal of your
choice].).
