Usually the 'sower' is acting as if he/she is not trying to cause arguments. “These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.” Proverbs 6:16-19 KJV “Sowing discord is something done in secret, done by deceit authored by the father of deceit.“ “Sowers of Discord” sow the seeds of bitterness, anger, distrust, and hatred into the ground of other people’s hearts. These actions do not come from the spirit of God but are birthed from hell from the deceiver the devil.” “Sowers exploit the passion/emotion of others, and, more often than not, derive pleasure from conflict. Sometimes they are aware of what they are doing but sometimes they just play into the hands of spiritual forces that are intent upon destroying the mission of the church.” “The Sower of Discord probes the vulnerabilities of other’s; seeking for weak points to expose and exploit. “Sowers of Discord” generally may present some valid points but generally do not offer any constructive solutions. Instead of pulling God’s people together, they divide them. They project their angry hostile behaviors onto people in the congregation.” “Some reasons why individuals follow “Sowers of Discord” include the fact that people sometimes mistake “Sowers of Discord” for persons who meant them well, because They may present themselves as working for a good cause. It’s easier for the Sower of Discord to lose focus on themselves when they are able to critically look at others.” “Sowing discord among brethren is counted along with murder…among other things. The seventh item listed as an “abomination” in Proverbs 6:19 is “one who sows discord among brothers.” All of the first six ultimately lead to and breed this discord and division. God hates this because he loves unity. As Psalm 133:1 reminds us, “Behold, how good and pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity.” Sower of discord disrupts unity and causes great division which in many cases could be irreparable. “Sowing Discord – By Billy Graham We have come to think that it is a harmless thing to sow discord in the office, church, but the bible says God not only hate sowing discord but God say that it is an abomination to Him. God hates discord and strongly denounce those who sows strife. What can we do about these dreadful traits that is in our hearts? There is very little we can do but there is something God has done. The secret is found in the words of the apostle Paul:”And be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God” (Romans 12:2). Jesus Christ if received into your life can make your tongue so that it speaks only that which is good.” https://christcenteredhouseofgod.org/sowing-discord/ Edited October 7, 2021 by Hopefully Spelling 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMEN and AMEN. One of the best posts since I have been here. I have seen so much strife here over the last few years. Even accused of being part of several myself. It's heartbreaking when your accused of that, and your trying to be kind and loving to a brother. What you said in your post here was so needed. I do pray that the good Lord presses your words deep into the souls of those here who continue to spread strife. God bless you for speaking out for Christ and many of us with the same heart as yours. You put it so perfectly. Arrabon 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
