It is said that the Body of Christ is the only army on the planet known for friendly fire. A sad fact easily seen given all the tension between the denominations of the Faith.
Paul warned against such schisms in First Corinthians Chapters 1 through 4. We need to avoid such arguments which are built on pride and not of the Spirit of GOD. Instead rejoice that GOD makes the effort to reach people where they are at. Some of us are more into the traditions and ceremonies, others of the body focus more on laying on of hands and speaking in tongues. If both are faithful to Scripture, does it matter that one imbibes and the other does not. Jesus himself drank. Does it matter that one allows dance and another does not. David, a faithful servant of the LORD reveled in dance before his GOD.
I'm not saying that there are not denominations that masquerade as fellow brethren but clearly do not teach from the Bible. Indeed we must pray for the members of such groups for they are most certainly being led astray. No, this missive is about the backbiting between the denominations who are all true followers of Christ but go about it in different but still scriptural methods. Enough is enough. Satan plagues us with enemies without, we need not create our own within.
