As I have read many of the threads and posts on this site and other sites , a heaviness fell upon my heart as I noticed how divided in many things we as Christians are. To see fellow brothers and sisters almost to the point of cursing (put mildly) another brother or sister out because their way is the only way makes me ill to my stomach. The words being said in some of these posts are camouflaging the hate that is within them. Is this being Christlike?
Have we become so prideful in our doctrine that we have forgotten that we are to be a light unto the world even in these forums? Do the unsaved come to these forums and see all the squabbling going on amongst the believers that they turn away forever lost, because we are so divided?
And it made me wonder, why is this if we are to be of one mind according to scripture?
Rom 12:16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

Rom 15:5 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
Rom 15:6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1Co 1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

2Co 13:11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

Php 1:27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;

Php 2:2 Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

1Pe 3:8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
 
 
I believe we are in very dangerous times and part of the problem is that with so many false doctrines out there leading people astray and to much division amongst the body of believers, that the salt has lost it’s savor, Matt 5:13.
We need to put away our doctrinal filters, quit leaning on our own understanding, and seek the truth in God’s Inspired Word so we can return to being“likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.”

In Christ, 1Christianwarrior316

On a site like this, with so many different view points, there is bound to be difference of agreement. Nevertheless it is important that Christians be in agreement. This is only possible when every individual Christian reads and studies their Bible prayerfully with a sincere desire to know the truth. Until then Christians are instructed to '...earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.' This faith that was once delivered unto the saints is contained in the Bible. Today most Christians aren't following that faith. Rather they are listening to apostate preachers who are more interested in pleasing their congregations than teaching the truth of Gods word. The variety of doctrine comes from most Christians not prayerfully studying their own Bibles and having no real desire to obey it.

Next Father, comes that piece of defensive armour, that's there, just for the asking, that only a fool would go round about without, IF they know and understand the strength of their enemy; I thank-you Father in helping me to Not be a fool this day as I request in and through the name of Your Son and our Lord,King and Personal Saviour, Jesus The Christ/Yeshua Messiah to have that hedge of warning raised up round about me for this day ahead, thank-You Father;

I would furthermore request Father that in Your Will, as we do know that You know whats best; that for ALL your children that may be in their times of weakness and have neglected to request their hedges, that their hedges be raised as well Father, so that when we find ourselves in our times of weakness, those in their times of strength can request that our hedges be raised;

For we know Father YAHAVEH, that any single solitary one of us could use a heads up, when that relentless, ruthless, merciless, backstabbing bastard entity sentenced to Death by name, Appolyon, (to be destroyed by ashes from within) is on the approach towards them, or any of their loved ones;

So that as a Family of Yours Father YAHAVEH, guenuinely and sincerely, looking out for one another and caring for each other, in Your way and through Your Will, that we get this task at hand accomplished;

Which brings us to the whole point of this communion, the whole point of ALL of our prayers, EVERYWHERE, and the whole point of being here in this flesh.

To get that spiritual wall of prayer, around Your Holy City and Mt. Zion, prayed up to Your satisfaction, in Your way, through Your will and in Your time being good enough for us.

I thank-You Father for the privledge of working upon this wall of prayer, at this time, which is why i furthermore reqest in and through the name of Your Son and our Lord, King and Personal Saviour, Jesus The Christ/Yeshua Messiah, and for the double portion there of, if it be available to me through the House of Joseph and all that there is available of it to me at this time, of, strength,courage,wisdom,paitience and endurance to help me Father, to do my part in the re-building of this wall.

And to that spiritual wall Father, i place upon it whatever love that there is left in me, in knowing Father, that not only did it originate from You Father, but it also belongeth to You.

I place along side that love Father, all of the love that has waxen cold within me from walking through these shadows of Death and Hell, to await a for a healing from You Father, in Your way, through Your will and in Your time, being good enough for me Father.

I would furthermore place upon that wall Father, my personal awestruckedness and dumbfoundedness in discoverying who it is that You really and truly are.

I also place upon that wall, my personal acknowledgement, that ALL of the Praise in both the negative and Our positive universe, most certainly does belong to You Father, for the Glory & Honor in the way that You rule MoreNaturally in the Majesty of Your Fairness.

I also place upon that wall Father, my personal acknowledgement, that You are the most positive, physical, power, force and might, that always has been, still is and always will be forever and ever. That's That. (amen)

Love You? yes i do Father; but because of the condition of my love at this time, i gotta say in all sincerity Father, that i miss You a whole lot more,

Praise be to YAHAVEH

Judah be to YAHAVEH'S Saviour Jesus The Christ/Yeshua Messiah

So that as a Family of Yours Father, that not just guenuinely and sincerely looking for and caring for one another in Your way and through Your will, but also working together in one accord with that one goal in mind, to get that spiritual wall of prayed up to Your satisfaction and in Your time, being good enough for us.

unity apart from correct doctrine is a ruse and idolatry.
