Everybody understands things a little differently. When I come to a conclusion on a matter it's usually after careful study and sometimes the holy Spirit showing me something precisely. It doesn't mean other people will see it and just because other people don't see it doesn't make me wrong. There are certain things that I know for certain are true. There are certain things out there that people teach that I know for certain are not true. In areas that I have not come to a conclusion on I continue to study and learn more. On things that I know the holy Spirit has revealed to me when other people try to convince me of something else all it does is wastes my time especially after I already told them my stance on the issue. If I were to ask for someone's opinion then it would be a different story. And yet I'm always willing to learn more. Sometimes there comes a point when I have told someone my stance and I know that what they're trying to push on me or even my wife is a lie they will lose my friendship. There's scripture to back that as well. I will give one or two warnings before disassociating with someone. And this has happened before in my life where I made it clear to someone that I will not receive what they are telling me. Mostly because I believe it to be a false teaching. I won't hate that person but neither will I associate with them any longer.
