So George arrives in Heaven, and St. Peter gives him the grand tour. They enter a building with many rooms. Peter opens the first door and George sees some staid looking folks worshiping with hymns. Peter says, "These are the Presbyterians." They come to another door, and when they look in they see some folks worshiping in a very excited way, whooping and hollering. Peter says, "And these are the Pentecostals."
They come to a third door with a peephole in it, and Peter says, "Shh. Be very quiet." George looks through the peephole and everything looks normal--just some folks worshiping in their own way. He whispers to Peter, "Who are these?" Peter whispers back, "It's the Baptists, and they think they are the only ones here." ;)
1 Cor 2
[9] But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
My question is: If many here think we will be reconciled in Heaven doesn't that say somethoing about how we should treat other Christians here on earth?
Why not try to reconcile our differences now and work together against the real enemy who is Satan?
and some cannot even agree what some of the essentials of the Faith are!
ie - To Some KJO-1611 is an essential of the faith,
or closed communion is an essential .....
I agree with that
statement - but its how it is interpreted.
Some will say Scripture demands that a women not to wear pants and to do so is a sin.
Deut 22:5
Some will say if you do not attend
SS, MW, EW, Wed Prayer meeting, Thurs visitation - at a minimum you
(Heb 10:25)
are not giving God his due time- and then thus sin.
[14] But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
So true, but we seem to be much better at disagreeing on things that will not really matter in the end, and hard to agree on those things with eternal significance!
