Beth Moore did it again: great analogy.
In a discussion of Christ's second coming, she talks about what is core and what is peripheral to Christian beliefs. There are the absolutes, and then there is wiggle room: "Some issues are spine issues. They are fundamental to our Christian belief system. ... Others are rib issues. On these our views can go in different directions, yet we can respect one another deeply."
There are many reasons I love belonging to Christ, but I've got to say, being free in Christ is one of my very favorite parts of being His. I love that He allows us, even designed for us, to diverge at certain points, but remain one in body. Does not the nuclear family have the same dynamic: many personalities, one bloodline, one household?
