Bible Note: Love your neighbor as yourself. That is the commandment of Christ. What matters in the end is that we all adhere to the doctrine: Believe in Jesus Christ, whom God raised from the dead, and love one another as he gave us commandment. As long as pride exists, we will never be in complete agreement, but having minor differences in doctrine does not make anyone any less of a Christian. Some believe in full submersion baptism. Others just a sprinkle. Some believe in speaking in tongues for this day in age, others that the gifts are only for the past. There are tons of doctrines out there. If we believe in Jesus, that God raised him from the dead, and love one another as he loved us, we are Christians, and that's that. The respector of persons deal I have to disagree with you on. I believe that who they were before God chose them is exactly the point. If God can choose a shepherd to become a king, he can choose a middle school student to learn the secrets that will baffle scholars. Whether or not this can be attributed to favoritism ... I choose not to have an opinion. Going through the many scriptures, which I choose not to expound upon right now, there are dozens of examples demonstrating precisely what it means to be a respector of persons, and scripture clearly tells us time and again that God does not act according to this behavior. |
