. . .if we could discuss the ‘thorny’ issues in scripture and then ask GOD “What’s YOUR point?”

Well, we don’t always, and more often than not we end up all about OUR points. So in the interest of ‘peace and unity among the brethren’ we just don’t talk about those ‘divisive doctrines’, and pat ourselves on the back for getting along so well!

Somehow I think God loves it when we talk about the thorny issues, or he wouldn’t have put those polysyllabic words in His book.

He just wants us to ask “God, what’s YOUR point?”

If  the Holy Spirit reigns in our hearts and we ask God the right question, we will all arrive at similar answers. Not the same exact ‘words’ but close enough to achieve unity of Spirit. He doesn’t argue with Himself, we argue with each other.

The history of the church seems to tell us that real Spirit unity is an impossible dream – not impossible to Him, but impossible with us.

So what’s the problem here? Must be US!
