Terry Why did Paul write Romans 14 with verse four as the focus point of that portion of scripture?  John Paul wrote in Romans that we should not judge another man's servant.  What does that have to do with being in one accord?  Does  the fact that Paul was talking/writing to people who may not have been in one accord mean that the group of believers gathered  in Acts were not all in one accord?  Could he have been writing the ones in Romans  precisely because they were not in one accord? Can you see where the Bible is more reliable than your experience?  If you or I never see accord this side of glory, the only conclusion we can draw from that is that we are falling short of what we should be.  All the experiences of all the Christians over all time cannot make me think otherwise.  The Bible is true.
