In last week's episode, we looked at the three main Christian views about how to interpret Genesis 1. Our take-away was that each of these views are valid approaches to understanding how God chose to create the world, and therefore, Christians should not break fellowship or leave a church because of disagreement on this subject. But that raises the question: When should you break fellowship, or leave a church because of theological disagreement? What topics are okay to disagree on, and which are not? How do we differentiate between the essentials and the non-essentials of our faith? Is there a basic standard or list of topics that we should all embrace? We believe that there is, and it is the basic confession of Christians for hundreds of years.
