Interesting that the Bible is "the Word of God", unless someone quotes a translation you disagree with.

Just never forget that if one loveth not the SON he loveth not the father .
I say its time we preach the gospel . As far as hate
lets not forget you shall not hate your neighbor in your HEART , you shall in any way correct ,rebuke him
and not allow SIN upon him .
Be encouraged mathew . But again i say its high time we preach the TRUE gospel of CHRIST and all HE did teach .
I would agree with you completely!
Isaiah 55:10-11 KJV
10) For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11) So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
Much love!

Took you a week to come up with that rejoinder, eh?
FYI, I expressed a conditional statement, not involving any assumptions.
It's only been minutes to me . . . I've been offline. And did you mean "weekend"? Since it was just Friday? You seem to make quite a few incorrect assumptions about me.
If you think you can hide behind conditional statements, maybe others can play also?
;)
No need to reply since this entire exchange is pretty much meaningless at this point in my opinion.
Much love!

God would not teach us what He does, if He thought it was going to cause disputes.
I'm sorry, I don't really know what we are talking about here. What are we?
Much love!
You can't be serious, yet I think you are.
Matthew 10:34 NIV
“Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth.
I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
You are talking about "Earth", I am talking about "Heaven".
If you think a sword on Earth, limits Heaven, you are mistaken?
Heaven is not for dispute, that is one of its joys!

There must need be disputes!...its a wheat and chaff thingWould you surrender your own beliefs in the cause of doctrinal unity? To end disputes?

This is a follow-up to the previous topic: Unity of the faith - at what cost? Link below. Probably the biggest roadblock to Christian doctrinal unity is holding on to the freedom we have to determine our own beliefs.

Now you write.

What you wrote.
Now you write.
How can you claim you were talking about heaven?
The Word of God is written in Heaven.
When people think they can change what is written, God just laughs - you can no more change scripture, than you can rearrange the stars.
So to the question, would you give up "the stars" for doctrinal unity: you are misreading the calling of every brother - if you have to give up doctrine to secure a brother's love it is not love.
I mean its an interesting question, but as I said "Jesus said 'if you love Me, keep my words'" - you can ask a brother what his favourite scripture is, but giving up scripture goes to far!
Doctrine is man-made, not God-made.
Doctrine and beliefs are not scripture, they are a response to scripture.
Even biblical doctrines can be in contradiction to each other.
And Bible translations can differ vastly.
On that basis, would you surrender your beliefs for doctrinal unity?
That is false.
Men can't invent what is truth or a religious lie or determine by themselves what God aproves or not.
We need to study the Bible to know those things.
We can't invent a god to our own liking, nor judge ourselves for the eternity under our own laws.

Just because you don't agree with it, doesn't make it unbiblical. A concept Christians seem unable to understand.
Biblical doctrines that disagree are in contradiction to each other. It's not a matter or right or wrong.
Baptism doctrines are a good example. Infant baptism is in contradiction with believer's baptism.
Even biblical doctrines can be in contradiction to each other.
Any doctrine that is presented with biblical support is a biblical doctrine, whether you agree with it, or not.
