Human

One of the most stereotypically common responses people would give while I was a missionary when we would ask them why they stopped going to church was that they were offended by someone, most commonly one of the local leaders. It was easy, oftentimes, for us as missionaries to internally berate these people who obviously didn't have enough faith to take such things in stride. If they just had stronger testimonies they could handle that kind of issue.

I didn't realize until we came to Acts 13 in class that even Christ's chosen Apostles, who had walked and talked with the Savior, also had similar personal issues. In verse 13 it says "Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem." The text doesn't say why John (aka Mark) left them, but context and other things suggest that it might have been the same reason for which Paul later refused to go on a missionary journey with Mark. These guys had the strongest testimonies a person can have--they saw Jesus--and they still had a dispute notable enough that it shows up in the Bible 2,000 years later.

If such spiritual powerhouses as Mark and Paul could still have such a sharp disagreement that they decided not to work together--and still be huge spiritual powerhouses--then I suppose I should be less judgmental of people when they have problems with other people. It's part of being human. Regrettable, unfortunate, and ought to be avoided, but it doesn't make them any less righteous. Just human.
