I Am Right, You Are Wrong!!!! 2017-52
Huh!!! I could not believe George, said that to me. I know George, who is someone that lives in the northern county from where I live. The subject of our discussion is not important, but his statement really got to me.
We were having a simple discussion, and he threw this out to me. Maybe, someone has said this to you too and, if so, you know my feelings. What to say back? Hmmmm.. A shrug of the shoulders and then my asking him, “How COULD you say that.
Well, some things we talk about can be debated, but many statements are definitive in nature.
I could say, “The sun rises in the east and sets in the west.” No argument there! I could also say, “The world is round”, but a flatlander could come back with “Not so, it is definitely flat!” My chance to say, WRONG!!
Again, back to George. I made an opinion of something and he said I was wrong and he was right. It is like his saying “vanilla ice cream is the best.” I then say, “No chocolate is”. WE ARE BOTH RIGHT, because it is our opinion on a non-definitive issue. Whew!!!!
George thinks he is right about most things anyhow, so I humor him and most often do not comment at all in what he states ln these cases. He doesn’t like that, but that is the way it goes.
A fellow blogger, and self-avowed atheist, said I was wrong and his thoughts were the correct answer, in my statement that “there is a God.” Hey, he cannot PROVE there is NO God, and I would have a difficult time proving there is in an absolute way. A stalemate!!!!
For my own reasons, I KNOW there is a God and Jesus is His Son; but that is me and my journey and in this respect, I KNOW I am right and not wrong/incorrect. This subject will be discussed and bantered around until the day when the second coming is a reality, and everyone will KNOW, will truly know…
I don’t care what the atheist thinks about God; that will be his problem to find out someday. Since I know God is alive, active, and aware of my existence, through His presence that is with me, I don’t have an issue with others that do not believe. So be it!!!
Peace,

most disagreements are over things that are opinions, not facts–or things that can be proved–and that was certainly true this past week at DP. Not worthy of an argument or loss of friendship. But God is and will be—-period. No discussion. He is my life and gives me all the wonderful things, thoughts, and beings I enjoy. I daily thank Him for it all, try–but never enough–to do His will. God Is good!!!
