I can split nearly any church in less than two minutes. How can I do that? By asking which of the following items are sinful (or at best unspiritual):

The above practices are not explicitly discussed in cripture. Yet, many Christians have practically come to blows over these issues! This should not be! The church must stop fixating on non-essential issues...

Agree but what you are missing is that half of those items listed are man made rules (drinking alcohol). The other half are things some don’t wish to follow even when it is for our benefit (working on Sunday).

It isn’t the church’s problem, it is our sinful nature that causes these problems. If others exhibit these issues then we should not see the splinter in our brother’s eye. If we exhibit these issues, then we better look to our own salvation to see if we are in the faith.
