I ask this question because as I enjoy going through all the different posts on this site I find that threads often deteriorate to the point where opposing views are polarized and the participants seem to be less concerned with the opposing viewpoint and more focused on what one already believes. Being right seems more important than ministering truth in love. Iron no longer sharpens iron but seems to sever unity. What are your thoughts?

All we can do is plant a seed of truth. God is the one that gives the increase in His chosen time.

When people start discussing trivial points, trivial laws, matters of no importance. Then division starts to flourish.

If people focus fully on Jesus Christ there can be no division, no debate.

Colossians 2:2-3
That their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love, and that they would attain to all the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding, resulting in a true knowledge of God’s mystery, that is, Christ Himself, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
