Anyone got any other quotes?
First, let me translate the quote. "If you're wrong in what you believe, then it matters not that you are the best, most loyal wrong person you can be, even if I'm very mediocre in following the right, I'm more right than you are."

On the surface that sorta makes partial sense (please note the heavy doses of equivication here!!!). On the other hand, "To whom much is given, much is required." Paul was passionately wrong, but God could use that honest passion! On the other hand, what to say of those who received the gospel, quickly grew, but then withered because of lack of good roots? And, what of those who actually got a good foundation, but allowed the concerns of this world to crowd out the effectiveness of the Gospel in their lives?

I'd still rather be right than wrong, but God also cares about what we put into it...that's for sure. And yeah, in print, the "anti's" comment is less than humble and compassionate.
