Can I just say something?

Can we please stop attacking each other because we have different beliefs as Christians. It makes me so sad to see how much hatred there is and the I’m right you’re wrong attitude comes about when discussing theology here on tumblr. 

It’s why I stay away from it. Theology depresses me to no end. Personally I don’t prescribe to either of the more popular theologies today, calvinism or armenisim. I don’t see the point in debating because God is God and frankly I don’t think there is any room for dualism in Christianity. Also I know next to nothing about theology. That’s my stance anyway, not up for debate. At all…so don’t try.

I’m guilty of it too. I don’t hide the fact that I have a disdain for a lot of the more popular pastors and well known Christian leaders on tumblr. I’m making an effort to stop and to keep my mouth shut because unless I have words of encouragement I don’t have room to speak.


It makes me even more sad to see people flat out accusing people of not being saved because they don’t believe the way the other person believes. Really? Do you know their heart and where they stand with God? What about your heart? What makes you so sure you are correct? 

Can we just stop? Please?
