No offence dude

Be careful in your attitude.   In my world, when you call someone a dude, it is not a positive thing.  We try not to offend each other here.

I don't want that we discuss those here, please. I'm simply asking, what do you believe to be the most controversial topics between Christians?  I'll list a few.

The Millenium

The Rapture

Once saved always saved.

Eternal concious torment (ECT), annihilationism, & universal salvation. 

What else?

1) Israel

True Christian’s agree on everything mentioned in your list. The true Christian understands, teaches and preaches sound doctrine. There are not very many of us on Earth. Our God is not a God of confusion nor is his word.  We don’t argue. Only people who have not made up their minds yet, argue. 
 

(KJV)Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Note the last sentence. 

When the rapture happens there won’t be many of us who get taken up. Certainly not enough so as not to easily have our sudden absence easily explained away to those left behind. 
 

But don’t lose hope the scripture tells us that an innumerable number of people get saved during the tribulation period. So many a man can not count them. 
 

https://www.blueletterbible.org/assets-v3/images/svg/copyChkboxOff.svgRev 7:9 - After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number,of all nations, and kindreds, and people, andtongues, stood before the throne, and beforethe Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palmsin their hands;

the fear of the Lord is the beginning. We are instructed to study the word of truth so as not to be ashamed of to bring shame to the word of truth. Sound doctrine is not multi choice folks. 
 

God bless. 

Hello. May God bless you as well. 

Revelation 7:14-17 KJV

And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

[15] Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.

[16] They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.

[17] For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

I believe scripture teaches that the last event to occur before Jesus Christ comes at the last day is the period of great  (spiritual) tribulation.

That should be the aim of everyone. 

I was in a house fellowship that disparaged members from focusing on controversial issues.

Unfortunately some attendees come to such meetings for the sole purpose of raising controversial issues.

I have a laugh now as the reason for being a house fellowship involved the controversy of whether pew-sitting and pulpit oratory was Biblical. One member described church buildings as "temples of Babylon".

Jesus was often at the centre of controversy, and of course the Man versus God conflict is a theme right throughout the Bible.

Anything doctrinal...

Amen. Love Jesus and one another. That's it. A lot of message board Christians haven't yet learned this and should NOT be teaching others about Jesus.

Before you pass judgement on anyone's salvation, you might ask yourself if it is you missing the point. Yes, the Bible is the inspired word of God. Yes, all sound doctrine comes from it.

However, the point of it, is love. Love for God. The Bible doesn't say "obey and understand all of my doctrines" and enter the kingdom of heaven, it says to believe  in Jesus and you will be saved. That's it. That's the bottom line. If you miss the love, then the rest is meaningless.

1 Corinthians 13:1-3

 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Perfectly said. Thank you.

To add to the list, what Jesus meant when he said "today" to the thief on the cross.
