As long as ...I have always thought this same thing. As long as the "essentials" of Christianity are believed (ie: There is only one true God and He sent his only son Jesus to die for our sins and to help us have the most extraordinary life possible. And that without Him we would be nothing" then why should the other slight differences matter. Iron does sharpen iron so we are to challenge one another on things, but not fight and cause strife and discord. I agree with you completely. :)Abby :)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5396155255406890660.post-61396217833359061262011-11-02T15:43:28.296-05:002011-11-02T15:43:28.296-05:00This made me smile for I remember that conversatio...This made me smile for I remember that conversation well. <br /><br />I'd much rather be known for loving Jesus than for giving money to the Baptist church, becoming a confirmed Anglican, or singing in the Methodist choir. <br /><br />There are certain things that each denomination can bring to the table, none of them having a complete monopoly on truth. They need each other to get a bigger view of God. It's being the BODY of Christ. United. <br /><br />But for me...I just love Jesus. ;)Caitlinhttp://www.caitlinmuir.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5396155255406890660.post-43090033610561364032011-11-02T10:37:47.501-05:002011-11-02T10:37:47.501-05:00I found this through a mutual friend and wow...ame...I found this through a mutual friend and wow...amen. There is so much division in the church, it's ridiculous. I moved from a Baptist church to an Assemblies of God church and everyone from the Baptist church basically told me I was a part of a cult now. I agree, we are ALL the body of Christ. The enemy loves denominations because the division causes us to not be able to go after God with as much power as we could if we were all united.

And it is often hard not to pull out all of the "Christianese" that we are so often accustomed to speaking. In the end, we are all a family and body of Christ loving those far from Him and shining His Light. <br />Thanks again for sharing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5396155255406890660.post-36084212298527480682011-11-02T07:30:21.189-05:002011-11-02T07:30:21.189-05:00I love this & especially the part about I hear...I love this & especially the part about I hear the names of brothers & sisters!
