Yes, you are very correct. People do make an idol of 'religious' activities, and religion itself. The last departing words John had to say in his first letter were, "Keep yourselves from idols". An idol is the 'image' or 'likeness' of something. We can make an idol of speculation, human wisdom, and pride when we try and debate over things that are just not elaborated on in the Word of God.
Paul said, excuse me, the writer of Hebrews said, "Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, and of instruction about washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgement." Now these things he is referring too are very worthy topics of discussion in my book, but he saw the fact that people had a tendency to get "hung up" on them.
In 1 Timothy Paul states, "...remain at Ephesus so that you may charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine, nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the stewardship from God that is by faith." So you see Chante, you are very correct in your thinking, but at the same time, as long as someone is not devoted to these things they are very healthy for topics of simple discussion.
We have to keep in mind that the world is curious sometimes, and the "natural man cannot receive the things of the Spirit" so we have to talk on their level sometimes. Peace, love and the ability to communicate to those around us is important. It should not, however, lead to disputes and fights that eventually end in a broken relationship. It is better to talk about these things, in my opinion, that to sit around shooting the breeze about super bowl commercials. We just have to discern whether or not it is going to far, be humble, take a bow, and let God deal with those who do want to argue.
There is nothing wrong with your question/statement though, in fact, it is needed sometimes to help hold us accountable as to what we are doing with our time. We have to understand, however, that God works in each of us as He see's fit. And if He decides to send this person here, that doesn't mean that He wants to send that person over there with him. Each one of us have a different role, with one common goal. Some grow differently than others and some need to talk about things we would call 'insignificant' just so that they can have questions answered.
God gave us two ears and one mouth for a reason...patience is a virtue.
was able to post just fine.
