The Teen Writer's Devotional

Understanding other people's viewpoints

I can't really think of a Bible verse to apply to this one.

We need to listen to other people's beliefs. I have spent the day learning about Seventh Day Adventists, Muslims, Mormons, and Catholics. I'm listening to stuff about Wicca right now.

I think it's so important to understand what people believe if it is different than you. I mean, you would hate it if someone slammed a door in your face before you got a chance to talk.

Listen to them, ask questions if you don't understand. It can be neat hearing they're opinions, and then you search through the Bible for either confirmation or denial of it.. 

Just always make sure that you are sound in your faith BEFORE you find out about other beliefs.

(If you want to learn more about other religions I would listen to Youth Apologetic Training by Michael Boehm. You can find it free at serminaudio.com. He does his research on stuff and admits when he doesn't know something. He makes it fun and sometimes amusing, and he always relates stuff to the Bible.

He also does series about logical fallacies, supposed Bible contradictions, case for the resurrection, Bible overview, pro-life and much more...

Yeah, I really enjoy his podcasts :) )
