Bible Question:
Hi everyone This is my second post to this forum and it my be my last. Like most new Christians, I have a ton of questions, like; can God restore my marriage, healing, how to forgive others, etc. But I have read some of the other threads on this forum and I'm afraid of getting conflicting answers! One believes one way and one the other way. Are you folks for real? There is only one God! Doesn't anyone believe He can give an right answer? |
Bible Answer: The problem is old, and current, I think. One must believe that people want answers and that they come to places like this for answers. We should be grateful for the plurality of responders, but queries like this, and the disappearance of the questioner, should remind us of the importance of finding agreement. It is easy to disagree. It is hard work to speak the same thing. But that is what we are called to do. So, "I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment". Even now someone is being tempted to explain away the problem. By all appearances, however, we get some satisfaction from knowing that we are right and someone else is wrong. But we should keep in mind what such a divergence of opinions does to one who is new in the faith or otherwise unlearned. For the sake of such people we should spare no effort in reconciling the Scriptures and giving clear answers. The present response is based on 1 Corinthians 1:10 and I trust that anyone responding will make an effort to incorporate that verse in their reply. There may be other passages that seem to contradict it, but we know they don’t. Let us try to put our answers together, for the sake of those who need to know. |
