As a Christian, it's troubling that a single point of doctrinal disagreement, such as the deity of Christ, can lead to exclusion from participation in a group that shares the same foundational scriptures. Despite basing my beliefs on the same Bible, I'm often met with irrational reactions, cognitive dissonance, and even demonization, simply for expressing a differing interpretation. This rigid need for uniformity not only causes division but also undermines fellowship, despite the shared core of our faith. Why is it that one doctrinal difference can outweigh the greater unity we should have as followers of Christ? #biblestr
