Ouroboros Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 According to: Joh 13:34-35 KJVA A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. (35) By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. And then consider how much strife and conflict there is between all Christian denominations. Shouldn't unity and love between all Churches and Christians be the proof that they are true disciples? So is the lack of unity and love the proof that Christians of today are not disciples of Jesus? *edit* And also Eph 4:15-16 ISV Instead, by speaking the truth in love, we will grow up completely into the one who is the head, that is, into Christ, (16) in whom the whole body is united and held together by every ligament with which it is supplied. As each individual part does its job, the body's growth is promoted so that it builds itself up in love. Love will keep the body of Christ united.

Hero of Hyrule Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Very simple. True christians love each others as the bible says. Thus if there is stife there are people involved who say they are christians but in reallity are not. Of course the denomination you are is the True christian denomination. See? Bible proved to be True. Now challenge that Mr.Heathen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When dealing with any non-christian, you can be as hateful as you like, knowing that Jesus never told you to be nice to them. Wasn't that what Creosote was babbling about before?

crazy-tiger Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Your right CT...Jesus clarifies "brother", guess it doesn't matter if you love the "sister", Jesus loves "brother" love... No wonder, that there are some homosexual Christians. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> http://www.ghastlycomic.com/d/20050918.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've figured out how to get ALL the votes! If the 'Christians' don't act like Christians, are therefore NOT Christians... that proves that they should not have their power in politics today... making all the ExChristians, Atheist, and Agnostics happy. Because now the soapbox/platform falls away. If we say that we ARE Christians and there is so much division, then we must admit that either Christ is failing or we are wrong... and you know what we are going to say. You win both ways on this one. Maybe if the soapbox was pulled away, it would cause Christians to rally and get more unified and use more reason in our beliefs... then I think we would be stronger, with better attitudes.

I can't be a politician! I'm not corrupt enough.

Maybe the soapbox is slippery... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
