Part 7 (continued from earlier response)

Using the model described in Parts 3 through 6, it is understandable that the Spirit of a loving God -- the same Spirit, the same God -- can encourage different people on their different journeys.  It would appear that the sensible approach is to grant the 'other' credit for honesty and humility, and encourage them on their way.

Ordinary hospitality is probably not an issue.  The challenge is dealing with conceptualizations a) that touch on religious truth and b) that are strongly held by people whose world view does not incorporate the first premise.  The Sunnis and the Shias come to mind, but Christianity has its own history of religious war.

But if the model is adopted, then I see much to be gained from dialogue and mutual support.  Certainly, as between you, brother Kevin, myself ad EFC1127A.

Peace and a blessed Easter to all.

P.S.  I appreciate that the chances of anyone reading this series of posts is somewhere between slim ad none.
