Why come there is somethin spiritually wring with this picture?
... there are three groups on this section who confess and profess Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savuor, and claim they have been set free from their sins through the blood shed of the Christ on the cross, and that they are born again, justififed, sanctififed, and they filled with the Holy Ghost Christians believers.
YET, ALL three groups can't come into an agreement as to how to rightly divide the word of God's truth and come into sound doctrine about salvation, grace, borm again experience, and what Christ did on the crose for ALL who believe in Him... nor can the three groups come into agreement about what God says in His word as being God's ONLY TRUTH?, and they deny and war againsteach other about what God says, and certain words.
Being that God is not the authory of confusion, nor is He one who should lie nor can lie, and He is the source of His OWN truth... how can these three groups confess and profess the same Jesus Christ as being God Himself and Lord and Savior of their lives, and that the Bible is God's Holy word, Yet they cannot agree WITH His word?
God say His sheep hear His voice in His word, and the Holy Spirit speaks the truth about Jesus.Therefore, if everybody is in Christ as all three groups claims, there would be agreement, since God cannot deny Himself, and all things would be in common concerning what God says in His word, and all three groups would be in Oneness of untiy in the Holy Spirit in SOUND DOCTRINE of God's word. The Holy Spirit bring unity in God's word, not division in the word to argue about the word.
Observation: There is both a demonic lying spirit and spiritual ignorance of God's truth of who God is among the three groups. Wonder which group is of demonic influenece and of spiritual ignornace?
And if your group is right about salvation, grace, being born again, and God's word, WHY COME you are in disobedience to what God's speaks in Titus chapter 3:1-14?

James replies:
Yikes! I would not go that far.
First off, if you think that the Holy Spirit gives each Christian a perfect understanding of each verse of Scripture through some kind of spiritual intuition, then you need to give that idea up!
That is OBVIOUSLY not true, so your interpretation is wrong.
Secondly, why do Christians disagree?
Well, several reasons. One is there is SO much IN the Word of God.
Secondly, we Christians are only partially renewed. We still have a sinful nature, and pride comes into play. You see this most obviously in the heretics. Harold Camping comes to mind. He says that all Christian churches are babylon, and that they are all wrong and only he is right.
I think it is important to draw lines on the categories of things we disagree on.
For instance, small things that are in Scripture, but don't make any real difference in real life. One Christian thinks that God will destroy the entire Earth, and another thinks God will destroy just the surface. So what. Both go to church together and stand side by side and sing praises to God for saving them.
Then there are Important things, and they matter to the point of not attending a particular church, and choosing to be a member of another. almost all the things we disagree on, on this group are, SO FAR......in this category.
Then, there is the essential things. Things that make a person either inside or outside the Christian faith.
Justification by faith in Christ alone is the center of the Christian faith. Don't expect me to call anyone a brother or sister in Christ, if they believe in salvation through anything other than trusting in Jesus alone.
But ET, you want to know WHY there are so many disagreements?
1. We live in a time where Christians have a real shallow understanding of Scripture. Arminianism is the rule in most churches, and it is never even mentioned! If you know the word Arminian, that makes you an unusual Christian in America.
2. Christians don't use the same rules of interpretation.
Fundamentalists for example, refuse to use several important rules of interpretation. So, naturally we end up believing different things.
3. Not everything in the bible is easy to accept, and some Christians will flat out refuse to believe things that don't sit well with them. We are all still sinners, and it should not surprise us if the Word of God IS perfect, and we are NOT, that some things in the Bible may not be to our liking.

*** I was wondering when this Chapter was gona Manifest...So the question is...When does a Christian TURN Away from the Heretick ? Titus 3:8-10
8~ This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
9~ But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10A~ man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
