I respect your opinion on the bible but we do have a different viewpoint. I believe the bible is God-breathed and completely trustworthy. I believe Jesus is the only way to the Father (per scripture) and that Jesus said that the first command is to love God with all of our heart, mind and soul. And second to love others as He loves us.
I admit it does bother me that you would think that my stand is due to my own ego (my word, not yours). Why would God tell me to stand one day and then not the next? Is it possible? Yes but it is something that is not consistent with God and He is consistent.
The challenge is that if you don't believe the word of God is trustworthy (again, I am not criticizing your view just explaining a key difference) and I do, then you will not be able to understand my reason for standing.
Figgy, if you dont believe the word of God to be 100% true, what part of the bible do you choose to believe and what part do you choose not to?
