There is no strife or disunity in Christ and He is not divided

JD: On the surface, this is untrue.  

 

jt: Had you ever considered that maybe what we see 'on the surface' is not the reality?

 

But, perhaps I do not know what you mean with the phrase "no stife or disunity in Christ."  

jt: It means just what it says - the Church he is coming for will have no spot, wrinkle, or blemish; wouldn't you categorize strife and

disunity as wrinkles and blemishes?.

When can we say unity has occurred?

 

jt: When we are of one heart and one mind. When we are all say the same thing and doing what He says.

When a division occurs and assuming one believer in definitely in Christ  --  how does the onlooker tell the difference in the two opponents? 

 

jt: Eventually, as ppl grow into Christ and His love is perfected in their hearts a wolf will be exposed in spite of the sheepskin by

what is coming out of his mouth.

In I Cor 1, when ones describes as a part of the problem are in Christ?   John

 

jt: Is the above a question?  I don't get it....
