Dake Bible Discussion Board ⇒ Eating before your weak brother causing him to perish

[luchnia]

By praying to grow in grace and knowledge we can come to a unity unseen in the world.

There are a number on this forum that are not in unity with you as far as God's word goes and are in opposition with your perception of many scriptures. It is doubtful many of us will ever agree with your view as your doctrines have been refuted a number of times here.

You state you offended/caused a brother to stumble and he left because of your words to him, yet you maintain you did not do anything wrong and now state your brother was not a brother at all because he saw something different than you do. We don't know what it was he saw that you maintain was incorrect and those details would be nice to know.

Did he believe in Christ and Him crucified and raised from the dead? If so, like it or not, he is your brother. Nothing really indicates to us he was in the wrong except you implying that he is not in line with the Church instead of you saying he was a weaker brother that was offended.

Does this "unity unseen in the world" mean that agreement will be on all of God's word according to what you believe, or is an agreement to disagree allowed such as the case with the separation of Paul and Barnabus over who to take along with them?

There will always be people who love sinning more than they love God, so to expect unity on a web site is hardly to be expected.
But I pray everyday that it will happen.

You state you offended/caused a brother to stumble and he left because of your words to him,

Those are not words I have said, written, or felt.
Keep to the truth, or provide a reminder for me.

yet you maintain you did not do anything wrong and now state your brother was not a brother at all because he saw something different than you do. We don't know what it was he saw that you maintain was incorrect and those details would be nice to know.

If a man believes false churches are somehow immune from the truth, he is free to stay on the road of false doctrines.'
But he will need to join one of the false "churches" in order to glorify himself in it.
He will not be allowed to do it around me.
He is not a brother in Christ.

Did he believe in Christ and Him crucified and raised from the dead?

Apparently not, as his actions did not indicate that God or His Son was worthy of his continued presence with the faithful.

If so, like it or not, he is your brother.
Nothing really indicates to us he was in the wrong except you implying that he is not in line with the Church instead of you saying he was a weaker brother that was offended.

And if not?
Do you defend Mormons or Hari Krishnas?
How about catholics and baptists.
Lutherans? Methodists? Episcopalians? Some other haters of God?
I do not, and am not afraid to explain why.

Does this "unity unseen in the world" mean that agreement will be on all of God's word according to what you believe,

Yes.
As that is what the Holy Spirit has provided to get us to sinless perfection, and keep us free from sin.

or is an agreement to disagree allowed such as the case with the separation of Paul and Barnabus over who to take along with them?

Of course it is allowed, as it doesn't weaken the basis of any doctrine.
Personal preferences can't separate brothers in Christ.
