grey

gray 1 |grā| ( Brit. grey)
adjective
::neutral or dull, esp in character or opinion 

i talk often with this small group of friends at school.
they don't think the way that i do.
they don't generally believe the way that i do
but their thinking intrigues me, challenges me,
and i love them.
s said that she is learning to live in the tension of
unanswered questions.
i am learning to live in the tension of disagreement.
it is hard though
because i believe in absolutes. 
i believe that God is the fundamental absolute
and that His purposed and intricate design for structures, systems, and people
are certain.
and then paul says things like we have the mind of Christ and 
i appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment
and so then i have to wonder if some of these grand philosophical differences are okay
and i am left more confused than when i started. 

i am not sure if my intrigue for philosophy is due to its political correctness and its "grey" nature or the fact that i don't have to make commitments to what i really believe...i am a 6 after all...  

and neutral sounds very similar to lukewarm...

  1. Wow! Good challenge! Thought provoking! I think of how Satan mixes in a small lie into a lot of Truth to make it look good or ok, when really that tiny lie changes everything! Is this ok? No! We must stand for the whole Truth and nothing but the Truth! Great thoughts!
