Christian Unity

This was actually yesterday's, but apparently you can only schedule two at a time.

Good Thursday morning, let's start this morning in James 4:1 "From whence come wars and fightings among you? Come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? A few days ago there was a thread on FaceBook, with somewhere around fifty post (I don't remember exactly), all but a few were Christian people not only arguing, but name calling, and other such nonsense. How often do we come up on another Christian that believes a little differently than us, about a minor issue and not a point of Doctrine, and we are determined to prove them wrong.
The question is asked in 1 Chr 1:13 "Is Christ divided?" Matt. 12:25 tells us that Jesus said "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand". Why, do we fight about stuff that has no eternal meaning? If someone is teaching that you can be saved by praying to the apostles, or to Mary, then yes we should show them the correct scripture. However 2 Tim. 2:14 says "strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting the hearers". If you know you are not going to change someones belief, do not argue with them, not unless they are willing to see the truth.
Titus 2:1 "But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine". If you don't know what falls under doctrine, and what doesn't, check the link on the left of the page, titled "Statement of Belief's". Any thing other that what is listed there, has no eternal value, and is not important. And definitely not important enough to cause strife within the body of Christ, which is a sin. If you encounter someone calling them self a Christian, and they are insistent on arguing just to be arguing, then walk away from them, and wash your hands of them. Other than to pray for God to work in their heart.
