Bible Question: Does "to be of the same mind" mean that Christians must agree on everything? |
Bible Answer: The notion of secondary issues was brought up. Yes, we need not be divided over secondary issues either, but seek agreement. But the difficulty,of course, is what are the secondary issues? Can we agree on what they really are? Who's to decide what's essential or secondary? Is " the everlasting felicity of the redeemed" essential, or is free will secondary? Just as there are "weightier matters of the law" (Mat 23:23) there are secondary issues of doctrine. .......................................................................................................................................And agreement on what is secondary or trivial is also something we should seek. |
