I don't think a Christian can water down his own beliefs by having to say they could be wrong, then what kind of belief system is that? I would never say I think I may be wrong that there is a God and there is a God of the bible, just so I can agree to disagree, that makes no sense to me. However, I can say that a belief such as I have is a highly personal thing and no one should pressure anyone into accepting that. This is how I would approach it. I don't like it when Christians get so pushy they don't take time to listen to the people they are talking to and expect them to accept something that is highly personal and can only come to these realizations themselves. Like the old saying, you can bring a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. That's how I view it. To me, that's the important thing and that's what I'd like to see at Journeys.
