5.29- Disagreeing with each other's ideas does not deny each other's dignity.

 5.29-

Disagreeing with each other's ideas does not deny each other's dignity. In fact it affirms it. Strong, prosperous countries are places where people can disagree and both can think about the ideas and move forward. When I read about a dissident being taken off a commercial plane flying over Belarus because of his disagreement with the country's leader it made me proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free.

Acts 18.

24 Now a Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, [l]an eloquent man, came to Ephesus; and he was proficient in the Scriptures. 25 This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he was accurately speaking and teaching things about Jesus, being acquainted only with the baptism of John; 26 and [m]he began speaking boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained the way of God more accurately to him. 27 And when he wanted to go across to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him; and when he had arrived, he greatly [n]helped those who had believed through grace, 28 for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, demonstrating by the Scriptures that Jesus was the [o]Christ.
