I learned a valuable lesson on here.

My friends I learned something very valuable. That is...all Christinas do not think like me. Fact is ..only a few do. I am going to stop thinking differently toward those who don't. Again the commandment is to love all men not make them think like me. I feel much more peace now letting God be God with others. This is hard to explain but when you stop judging others and critiquing their lives you feel a whole lot better about yourself. Does this make since.?

Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters. One man's faith allows him to eat everything, but another man, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. The man who eats everything must not look down on him who does not, and the man who does not eat everything must not condemn the man who does, for God has accepted him. Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand. One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. (Romans 14.1-5).

Bro Chuck; We are in danger when we can't learn anymore. Yes we are all members of a great body and no two members are exactly the same. No two members have the exact same gift. God is the one who places the members in their proper place in the body. To bad we don't all have that understanding. I think that understanding would do away with this, "cookie cutter. one size fits all" mentality that wants to make everyone "just exactly like me" or they are hell bound. We sound a lot like little children, example, I don't have a gift so you are a devil if you claim a gift. I have a gift and you don't so you must be the one who has a devil. I spoke in tongues and you didn't so you are going to hell. I didn't speak with tongues and I know that I am saved so you are the one who is going to hell with your false doctrine. Take the good and pass on the rest.

Amen,
I do feel what I learned is priceless for me. It allows me to be more free. The walls are coming down and his joy is replacing the walls.

Proverbs 21-2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts.

AMEN REb,

Also ,in a few scriptures you will hear Christ Jesus say," And how does't thou read it?" We really get messed up with cookie cutter theology and doctrine. God does not want you to be like me and for me to be like you. In essintials ..yes and in unity yes in non-essentials no. This is what Reb has been posting.in Romans.
