It would be very easy for me to spend my energy refuting errant teaching. I could argue from scripture, call out poor interpretive practices, and criticize exegesis. I could point out scriptures missing from the "proofs" put forward for the doctrine being presented.

There’s a lot of noise out there. There’s teaching that leaves us confused, even fearful. There’s teaching that seems to call us to divide ourselves from those who understand things differently. This doesn’t sit well with the Spirit within us.
