As someone who identifies as a Christian, I would be disingenuous if I didn't acknowledge the fact that other Christians use the Bible and sermons (by other Christians) to validate their beliefs and their behaviors.

I guess the difference is how we interpret those teaching and how they guide our behavior.

If that's the case, I hope that others judge me by my actions.

As always, I appreciate the opportunity for discussion - so thank you very much!

Wising you well and peace

Tim
