Doctrines and MAN

It only takes two people with two different point of view that they would appear to be arrogant to each other. We find ourselves at times ignoring or diluting certain passages of Scripture that penetrate our defenses. It appears that we ALL habitually love the verses that are easy on us and shy away from the ones that disturb us. Almost everyone practice selecting and ignoring. Historically, people unconsciously select for special attention for whatever reasons or motives might be. Obviously, the Scriptures and history have taught us and still teaching us but as usual, we are "selective hearing" on various topics. Are we truly learning the lessons? According to history, I think we are doomed to re-learn hard lessons our spiritual forefathers learned and gave warning of.
