I also began to see the complexity of the issues better. Let me put it plainly: The issues that divide Christendom are rarely if ever so obvious that everyone will come to the same conclusion about them if only they would study them long enough with a good will. Rather, sincere and intelligent people will and do disagree about them because they are not simple. They are enormously complex—historically, theologically, and in terms of the range of values and concerns represented on each side.
Didn’t Jesus say the Spirit would guide us to the truth?
