And what I find so interesting is that, yeah, when I think back on my conversations, the mature Christians in my life saw that I'm on a journey, and they didn't get out their sledgehammers of wisdom and beat me into the right teachings. Oftentimes they would just smile, nod their heads, and say something to provoke a thought that I had never thought about.
And that had really shaped the way that I looked at this verse: to recognize that when someone is on a journey, as long as they are looking at the whole view of Scripture in a simple interpretation and putting that through the lens of the historic faith, then most likely they're still growing and maturing, and their thought is going to change.
