Hello Gregor,

I really liked your take on discussing doctrine. This is SUCH A BIG PROBLEM amongst Christians everywhere, and you really expressed my viewpoint into words eloquently. I had to send a copy of your message to my brother.

My brother is also in college, Freshman at University of Iowa, and he's having problems finding a church home. He's joined the Intervarsity Christian Fellowship. There are many different denominations and views amongst the varied members of his group there. He is very passionate about the Truth and will express his views if he thinks the Truth is not being heard. The group is currently discussing Jesus' death and whether He had a choice to die or not. The group continually says that Jesus had the choice, but my brother argues that Jesus was God and therefore didn't really have the choice as Jesus would have had to disobey the character of God by choosing not to go through with God's will. It's one of those issues to me that doesn't affect my life very much and therefore I would try not to discuss it.

Anyways, I hope that your explanation will help my brother to pick and choose his battles. I just wanted to thank you.

God's love,

Grant
