You nail the problem of people. Yet you keep on preaching the incorrect doctrine of Christ.I think it’s sometimes a matter of belief meets reality and they aren’t always compatible. Anyone can believe anything, but reality doesn’t care about what we believe. Words have meaning. History exists. Facts, reason, and logic are all independent of what we prefer to believe. Some can be reasoned with, some can’t be reasoned with.
There’s far too much to say about the study of the human psyche. Often people don’t know enough to know that they don’t know what they are talking about, but confidence can exist independently of whether or not it’s appropriate.
Yes we should follow what Jesus said. You would think that would settle it, but it doesn’t. More proof that belief can take precedent over practical/critical thinking.
