1 | Live in Peace with one Another... | 1 Thess 5:13 | DocTrinsograce | 243267 | ||
"There are two kinds of peacemakers in the modern world; and they are both, though in various ways, a nuisance. The first peacemaker is the man who goes about saying that he agrees with everybody. He confuses everybody. The second peacemaker is the man who goes about saying that everybody agrees with him. He enrages everybody. Between the two of them they produce a hundred times more disputes and distractions than we poor pugnacious people would ever have thought of in our lives." --G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) |

Actually there is a third peacemaker, he is the one that brings Jesus into every discussion. Only Jesus can bring true peace all else is man misinterpretation of what peace really is. | ||||||

Dear Ed, Yes, Chesterton was actually being critical of all non-Romanists. I agree with you! "Blessed is the peacemaker" as our Lord asserted (Matthew 5:9a) He is the ultimate peacemaker, but in the beatitudes He was talking about those who bring the gospel and make peace between man and God. Nonetheless, though you are remiss in actually citing the word, may I do so for you, while I yet have the strength to do so? "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful." (John 14:27) Chesterton is someone you have probably never read except in the quotes I have brought. He was a brilliant man, but his doctrine -- though more similar to yours than mine -- would not have admitted to this kind of peace. So, bravo for your observation, though lacking the effort to actually cite a verse. I'm glad you remember the gist of the passages where our Lord taught. In Him, Doc |

Why is it okay for you to post a quote that contains no scripture nor does it specifically point to a scripture, but when one comments or rebuts that quote you want to insist they supply scripture? | ||||||
