Unity
Lance when are you going to deign to come down from
that 'lofty pedestal' you have set yourself on?
Where would you get the idea that you have been
ordained judge and what irony for you think you
have the "big Jesus" and are on top of it all; God
may be gracious but He does not bless ignorance.
Twice in one day. Judy acknowledges "I don't get
it'. Sadly, Judy, you often, though not always DO NOT GET IT.
Happily, God is gracious.

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....
