Yeah...in essence , we are saying that we really doubt the otherperson is saved. We almost treat each other like we are of a cult or something. Satan does this I beleive ..{Author of confusion ..knowing a house divided can not stand}..because if we ever became one we could put a huge dent in Satan's stronghold he has right here. However my friends..the religious pride I see here will not allow us to be one. And the world looks on and sees Christians as folks who are not sure wha tthey believe and certainly are so dogmatic in their point of views that it chokes out any means of producin gfruit. Not knowing it's the fruit that draws folks to Christ Jesus.
SaintJohn 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. C7
Not complaining or arguing, just my opinion. As this is a "religion" site, it is not pledged to truth, or to the Lord. All are welcome, whether it be any kind of religion that worships a false God, whether it be any form of false doctrine, whether it be from any denomination, whether it be a truth , or a lie, or straight from hell. Anyone can come here and follow rules and be courteous . . . .and maybe even not be courteous.
This is a house, sure enough, but it will remain divided, as it is not the Lords house. We will never be one here . . . .some few of us will come into agreement and be of one accord, but no more so than a few of us would be in agreement in any other place that is not sanctified for the Lord.
I really enjoy this hunting net site and even this forum, as there are lots of good folk here. But this forum is dedicated to people rather than to the Christian God and has it's own mixed fruit.
Here, you have to be grateful for the few folk that we find that love the Lord and be thankful for anything that we can learn or give others. Our moderaters . . .even tho I have and prolly will be at odds with them when in disagreement do a great service in this place where we will never be in accord.
I say this as an observation and not as an accussation, as I'm past the stage of trying to see it changed, so my concience is clear as I defer to the way it is, and praying for this forum and the folk here, asking only that the Lord has His way.

God is love. This is biblical. The love that the world presents is not true love, but rather a worldly concept of attraction to, or for.
When WE see God and except him, his will, his ways, his attitudes, his desires the same as he is, we will have love. Love will then act, and react, in our lives much as it does in God. We will charish some things, and hate others because we are partakes of him, and he is love, whether it be is comforting the broken hearted, or rebuking ungodliness and sin, it is all under the umbrella of love.
