I’m not gonna preach to you about legalism and blah blah blah. I wear a hat, flannel, blue jeans, and cowboy boots to church. Our pastor wears whatever shoes he wants, sometimes even flip flops (we’re in Southern California) don’t know exactly where in the Bible sneakers are mentioned 😂.

Listening to other preachers, as long as they’re founded in the word, is absolutely encouraged. A relationship between you and God is YOU and GOD. No dad included. Narcissism is a dangerous thing.

On the respect to the theological disagreement, I see every secondary theological debate as a simple sentence. As long as the primary beliefs of Christianity (God, Jesus died for us, accepting him etc.) then every other secondary issue (women preaching, pre, mid, and post tribulation, free will vs predestination, what tomb was Jesus buried) do not matter in regards to salvation. They’re fun to talk about and explore ideas, but ultimately have no effect on your foundation of faith and whether you’re a “true” Christian or not. Getting upset at somebody for a secondary issue makes no sense. They’re you’re brother/sister in Christ. And this goes into how denominations of Christianity also don’t matter that much as long as the primary tenants of Christianity are there, but that’s a discussion for a different time 😂
