Spoken like CS Lewis
himself. J Izzy PS And
have them insist that everyone must know Greek & Hebrew to discern God’s
word, and that God’s word doesn’t mean what it says in
English!

Hello
Marlin. Good to hear from you again. I think that you have
identified part of the problem when you quote Paul mentioning heresies,
but that is not all that keeps us from being in one accord.
If you have
ever read the Screwtape letters, you can picture Satan instructing the demons
when he says, "Christians will never break fellowship by argueing over what is
filthy or perverted or evil. They are pretty well agreed on those
things. Where we have to pry them apart and make them angry at each
other is in the area of discerning God's word. Tempt them to nit
pick. Tell them that tiny differences are of utmost importance, more
important than fellowship or even love for one another. Tell some of
them that they are the experts. Tell them to take a stand., put forth their
argument as absolute truth and let the unbelievers go to Hell if they can't
see it their way. That is how we win the war. Not by fighting
them, but by causing them to fight one
another.
Terry
