Absolutely not! Didn't Saint Paul say, "Let there be no division among you"? One of my best friends is Hindu, and many of them are Islamic, Jewish, Hindu, and one Buddhist. Christ sent you here and gave you His love and His message not so you could parrot it back to people who already know it but so you could spread the word to people who don't, or people who don't understand it. If you have a very good friend who isn't Christian, don't you want to give them a chance to get to know the guy who died for them? I think your verse means that you shouldn't act like those who believe there is no God, no Heaven, no Hell, etc. Be seperate spiritually, not physically. If you learn to alienate people on Earth, you don't want to risk that transferring to Heaven. | ||||||

Sorry for not supplying this before, Rextar, and for not answering in a while- internet's been down at my place for the past week or so. Broadband's more hassle than it's worth. Anyways, I quoted 1 Corinthians 1:10, "I urge you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree in what you say, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and in the same purpose." | ||||||

Thanks! I thought that was the scripture you were referring to. When Elder asked the question of fellowship with others outside the "church", I took outside the "church" to mean outside the "body of Christ" (Jesus only has ONE church!). If Elder did indeed mean the body of Christ when he said "church", disagreement and division will occur at times with those outside the "church", simple because we are commanded to declare the truth of God's WORD. We are salt and light (Mat 5:13-16) living among materialistic and darkness. I think it is important for true Christians to come together in agreement and work from that starting poind, instead of the common thing that happens when those of different denominations meet and the 1st thing that is brought up is "well you believe this way, which is wrong, because me and God believe this way!" The power of agreement is an awesome thing (Mat 18:18-20, Acts 2:1-2) that we too many times chose to not want to be a part of! God bless you! retxar PS I read you profile. Keep up the good work and God bless you for your hunger for His WORD! |
