Maybe recognizing an inescapable reality helps one to accept it, too.
Like coming to a theological position from which one doesn’t know how to return, and which leads to one disagreeing with nearly every other Christian individual and family that one knows personally. That’s somewhat isolating.
It’s also reality. One doesn’t set aside what one has come to believe is Scriptural, simply because one misses being in the same theological camp or because it’s sad and lonely turning away from the camp and trudging out in the dark night into the vast unfamiliar wilderness.
Perhaps this realization will help me in accepting my current reality.
Sigh.
