08/28/2003 Entry: "On disagreement"

Martin Roth ponders the dispute between Jews and Christians:

One of us is probably wrong. But with the information we have right now, we can’t really prove anything one way or the other. So why don’t we wait together? Once our Messiah arrives we’ll quickly be put right. We’ll learn which of us was right, and which wrong. Indeed, our Messiah may show us we were both wrong. He (or She) could really surprise us. And then we can all have a giant celebration together and laugh about how so many could have gotten it so wrong for thousands of years. Wishful thinking? Yes, for sure. And heresy as well. But better than fighting.

I'd only want to add that much the same could be said for many of the arguments that have gone on between Christians.
