One in Christ


 

This comment is meant for the Christians amoung us. By Christian I mean all those who believe in Jesus Christ as Son of God and put their trust in Him. It matters not if you are a Catholic, Prostestant, Non-Conformist, Mormon, Jehovah's Witness.Seventh Day Adventist, etc. At the time of the Judgement, we will be judged by the way we have lived our lives in accordance with the teachings of our Lord and Savior, and our faith in Him. Somehow I doupt our doctrinal beliefs will be top of the heap.

Maybe your Church believes its neccessary to proslytise its teachings to others of different denominations. I guess that is fine, so long as if those we try to convert and do not accept our doctrines, we leave them with Gods blessing. What I personaly abhor is the way some "Christians" lambast those of other denominations, often with words of hate. Such practice is actualy against the teaching of Jesus Christ Himself.

Mark 9:38 - 40.

38:  And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.

39:  But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.

40:  For he that is not against us is on our part.

And don't let us forget the "Golden Rule".

I believe that every denomination holds SOME of the truth but none have ALL the truth. Maybe we could learn something from each of them.

Some years ago Catholics and Protestants were killing each other in the name of Jesus Christ. (recently in Northern Ireland). Non-Conformists were persecuted and fled England for the New World to escape persecution. Mormons were murdered, raped, driven from their homes in america time and time again. Jehovah's Witnesses were incarcerated in Hitlers concentration camps. Persecution even if only verbal is still going on today.

Let us agree to differ. Let us celebrate that which we in Christ hold in common. Let us join together in the Body of Christ as ONE in Christ.
