Gray?

The other day we talked about having things in Christianity be cut and dry. Black and White. However, isn't it ok to have things be a gray, to not have answers to everything? Should we focus on the arguments that arise in theology of should we focus on living the life that scripture calls us to live? To care for people and love others and love God. Yes, I do agree that it is important to know where you stand in your believes and to have reasons of why you believe what you do. If you cannot stand behind and support those ideas then what are you really standing for? How can you share your faith?

However, I struggle with the idea always arguing the fine points of theology to the point where you lose the love that Christ has given us, you forget about the commission of going out into the world. Reading through scripture and the gospels, Jesus doesn't argue whether the Earth is old or new or if evolution occurred. He preaches about loving your neighbor as yourself, taking care of the poor and the widow and the alien. Giving your everything to serving the Lord, living a radical faith. Not living in complacency.

So as we stated in class, its ok to have a little gray in your faith as long as you know your reasons behind your beliefs and you continue to live that life that Christ has called us to live, which is not necessarily how America lives their faith.
