What do you mean by ' believers divided ' ? All Christians are part of Gods body and as such are united. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the body, though in Christ, is divided on what they believe and how they walk in their faith, but are one in Him. It's a hard thing to wrap one's head around sometimes when we take a serious look around. Even those of the time of Paul were divided to a point. That is the issue we have by being human. We follow what we believe, whether right or wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing we do or do not do can change His plan. Question ... are you united with those who believe it's OK to have gay preachers, but still follow God according to their faith? I bet your answer will be "NO, they are not true believers", but then we are actually saying that not everyone who claims to be a christian is a true christian; therefore, not part of His body. That's an extreme example, I know ... which is why I chose it. It's easy to see. In the end, He will separate the sheep from the goats, but until then, there is a community of those who claim to be His with both true and false Christians. I'm sure everyone will be surprised with who did and who did not make it, according to Matthew 7:21-23 Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never said anything about that, all I said was at some point Jesus will unite His church. Which is true Jesus is coming back for His bride, and those that are not of His church will be left behind Where did you get that I'm ok with homosexuality in the church from that?

Do notice that I asked a question, not make a statement. I never claimed you are "ok with homosexuality in the church" ... where in my post did you read that? I think this conversation between us is a perfect example why the body is divided to an extent ... people don't pay close attention anymore, and that includes me at times.
