Why do supposedly fellow Christians spend so much time and energy trying to weaken the Christian faith? Especially when Islam is trying to destroy Christianity entirely. It makes no sense to me.

If one doesn’t have a Pope or some such body that is occasionally inerrant, then some people have a need to be personally inerrant all the time, and that takes a great deal of energy.

You’re right and I have NO idea.

Some people seem to be hellbent on proving their invincible ignorance.

I said nearly the same thing the other day. It's bewildering.

Ecumenism is not necessarily a good thing.

My question as well. I believe that all of us who receive our salvation from Jesus should focus on what unites us, not what divides us. I figure that it is Jesus and His Father who makes the ultimate decision on whether our earthly squabbling is more important over accepting Him as our Lord and Master.

And can we ignore and pray that those Christians who are being martyred for their faith, just because they don’t belong to our local congregation or are from another ‘room’ of our Father’s mansion (hotel) of obedience to him?

There's an old joke about someone arriving in heaven and being conducted past a door to a room filled with people. He's told to be quiet and when he asked why he was told "Oh those are Catholics. They think they're the only ones here and we don't want to burst their bubble". Maybe the other reason they're all kept in that room together is to keep the Protestants in heaven from finding out that they're not the only ones in heaven either. I just wish both sides would recognize their brothers and sisters in Christ, leave it to God to work things out, and quit trying to restart the Thirty Years War.

Amen.

“Why do supposedly fellow Christians spend so much time and energy trying to weaken the Christian faith? Especially when Islam is trying to destroy Christianity entirely. It makes no sense to me.’

Its the same few trouble makers on both sides that get a rush out of attacking each other. Its disgraceful in my opinion; and anti God.
Nothing wrong with a good discussion by any means. But many of the posts are just vitriolic and filled with hate. Not from God for sure when in that spirit
