I sure can't agree with this statement. The numerous posters considered "Bereans worst" are not even registered here.

Can you say more about what's troubling you.

I did dear brother in my reply to Terry's question on what is divisive. Please let me know if my example wasn't clear enough.

As always Peace.

As with the example you brought up, can a conscientous objector be considered divisive? It hasn't happened yet, though I plan on bringing up the question to the pastor of the community church where we meet.

I was once was trouble by something in my earlier years and went to an elder for advice that would console my spirit from my distress .

He looked at me with a concerned look on his face and asked...Did you bring this before The Lord?

I was embarrassed to say that I hadn't. He understood somewhat and encouraged me to do so. What a life lesson!

I learned to run to The Lord for all things instead of man That experience needed to happen for me to get it.
I now laugh at that experience.
What say ye brother ?

Should I comment on something I know very little about?

The only answer I can give is to follow what your concience is convicting you to do but first ask Him.
This is right.

Peace

I guess you think we just shouldn't be discussing the things from the 80's? Or else you're referring to something else, that I'm totally missing here?...

[manna-man]

I am not sure what you are missing. I believe brother ZNP understood.

Good night Ray.

That is I how I approached marriage and who to marry. As for the matter of quarantines, there's a relative 20 year history going on. Bringing to the Lord and heeding your conscience may not be in agreement to man's concepts. There were and are brothers who out of the Lord's leading and out of their conscience choose not to obey the quarantine. For some they were conscientious objectors, but considered divisive by LSM for not heeding the quarantine. As I paraphrase, those who followed the Lord's leading, were "rebelling aganist the feeling of the Body".
Understand?

I understand. You are preaching to the choir.

We have had more than twenty years to examine our history. If we are honest with ourselves we will come to the reality of the situation.

This reality 'if'' we are truely seeking Him, is whether or not we are indeed following the leading and our concience.

Yes, we have the human equation also. People who enter in innocent or not wise enough to detect the spiritual dangers.

The Lord is able to preserve those who are faithful to Him. Yet, there will always be those who will be tossed by the waves and carried away in the currents of the self.

This by no means gives us a license to disregaured the high calling of Holyness in Christ Jesus.

May we maintain a healthy reverence of Him for to fear God is the begining of Wisdom.

As always Peace.

Something I always have in mind as I write is the oneness we have in Christ and the portion we all share of Christ, as saints in the light. Whether those on the forum or those I write about, we all share a common life within and should be one. Addressing the problems can be viewed as a positive matter, if our endeavor is, principally, for "keeping the oneness of the Spirit in the uniting bond of peace."
