Each week after you watch the presentation, please type your questions or comments for our discussion in the “reply” box/area a the bottom of the screen. Use the yellow “Submit” button that is located below the reply box/area when you are finished writing.
Why is it important that as Christians we have discussions (even intense ones) with one another about God, the Bible, truth, and so forth?
The Bible says concerning Paul:
But when divers [some] were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing* daily in the school of one Tyrannus (Acts 19:9, KJV)
* disputing: (“getting a conclusion across”) occurs 13 times in the NT, usually of believers exercising “dialectical reasoning.” This is the process of giving and receiving information with someone to reach deeper understanding – a “going back-and-forth” of thoughts and ideas so people can better know the Lord (His word, will). Doing this is perhaps the most telling characteristic of the growing Christian! (HELPS Word-studies, Biblehub.com) (Strongs 1256 /dialégomai)
