1 | Why do we disagree? | 1 Thessalonians | kalos | 790 | ||
Truly I do not know the answer to your question: "...how can we...disagree on something that important?" You may as well ask, if we are all one body, then why are there so many different denominations? I suspect that if a person could answer one of these question, he'd be halfway to answering the other, as well. | ||||||
2 | Why do we disagree? | 1 Thessalonians | charis | 841 | ||
Friends, the uncomfortable answer would be sin. Though saved by grace, we are still influenced by sin. Looking at the history of the church, it appears that many divisions (denominations) were brought about by pride, arrogance, greed, and selfishness. If we were to try to believe that denominations were created by further revelation, then the most recent divisions would be the best, the closest to God. I don't think so. The word denomination means of a different name. A name different than Jesus the Christ. Any time we add a name to Christ, we divide Him. I don't claim to know Him better than another, I just know that He cannot be pleased with division. I fervently pray for unity, and I believe this forum (communication) will help. In Jesus. | ||||||

Hello Charis, I wrote an answer to this before I read yours, but I see we agree on why we can't all agree. |

Charis, I have grown to value your opinion greatly. On what part did you disagree with what I said? |

Dear wdc, Gomen nasai! (sorry about that!) It was a feeble attempt at humor. I am prone to these fits :-) Actually, I agree that we agree on why we disagee. (your turn, ad infinitum) Blessings and love in Christ Jesus, charis |

Charis, Is that Japanese? In Texas we would say 'scuse me. I thought it might be that statement about it not happening on earth. There will come a day when the earth shall be filled with His knowledge and glory, but that gets into an eschatological discussion. thanks for your quick reply, I might not have been able to sleep tonight. later...wdc |

Dear wdc, Yes, Japanese is what I use more often, though English is the language we use at home. My local church is almost all Japanese, language and people. Please, no eschatology :-) There is probably no less-agreed upon subject, to no avail. Jesus will come, and I am waiting. 'nuff said. I know about not being able to sleep! When I go to sleep at night, the early risers have just posted their first questions and comments. Also, I am embarrassed the next morning when I look at what I wrote with the 'good night fuzzies.' From the Rising Sun to the Lone Star. In Christ Jesus, charis |
