For Fair Use Discussion and Educational Purposes

Dear Jane, The Lord knew that there would be difference of understandings of His Word among the Body of Believers. It took place at the get go and it continues today. Why can't we continue to learn from each other in whatever topic that He has gifted us with understanding without the slandering?

I believe that is why He has given us so many words of wisdom of how we should treat each other.....with respect. To use smart Alec name calling is not met with approval from the Lord.

When I see that kind of action I think of a Bully.....it is usually one who uses physical abuse or verbal abuse...nonetheless, a Bully.

One can demand respect by making reference to his/her past education but one that uses soft answers will receive that respect.

Thank you Jane, I hope this disrespectful name calling will end. It doesn't do a thing to instill the Agape Love that the Body should have for each other, despite their different view-points. I will join you in prayer that this tool of Satan will be broken.

Proverbs 15

1 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.

Love to you also,

Gerlinda

"from Jane A re Unity in the body. This is serious. Beloved doves please read this, its urgent."


My heart is aching for the body of Christ. Why is there so much dissension between us?


Please join me in prayer on Tuesday 16th September. Let us ask our Lord for forgiveness for the discord that is amongst us. Accusations and slander are flying around. Please pray that we will humble ourselves.


I am so devastated by all this, why is this happening?



Ephesians 4:1-16King James Version (KJV)

I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,

2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;

3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)

11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:

14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

With much love
Jane A
