LOL assumption. Assuming the doctrine of lack of faith is one of my battles with some of you.

God gave us conscience. If the truth of God's Word opposes the world's wisdom on a certain issue, you must align yourself with God's Word. Faith is from God, not from man.

It doesn't mean you don't care for the person, or stop praying for them. Or think less of them, or your position is weak. Sometimes, when dealing with individuals of opposing viewpoints you just make a decision to leave it with a simple statement and walk in love.
None of us has the full truth, none of us are so mature in Christ that we cannot be corrected, every one of us will see the full truth one day when we see our Savior face to face. I suspect on that day none of this debate will matter.

I don't think it matters much now, but I do agree with the statement.

You should have a recommended holiday more often Jim, I haven't disagreed with them yet.
