Today's post (6-10) and one for tomorrow will go along with the theme of this post.<BR/><BR/>Very few people think we have to agree on everything in order to have fellowship. Some people think we have to agree on very little and others think we must agree on quite a lot. But even folks in those differing camps have the concept, don't they?R. L.

Sadly, we tend to fuss and argue (divide) over the 2nd and 3rd degree issues. Most of these issues have been debated for centuries and are not likely to be resolved any time soon. They are matters that Godly people down through the ages have disagreed upon, but should not stand in the way of our being united in Christ.<BR/><BR/>So, yes, Al's "Theological Triage" is a helpful good instrument.J.

They are so far out in left field. We can enjoy fellowship in Christ alone, but then the divide is so wide we have nothing in common. This is where I would have some difficulty in the tri-part triage suggested by Mohler.<BR/><BR/>The older I get, the more I close ranks theologically, and yet, paradoxically, the more I am open to fellowship with other believers on Christ alone. I have become more tolerant of different viewpoints, including dispensationalism, which I once deemed to be cultic.<BR/><BR/>The triage concept is worth consideration.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>JimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
