I haven't read through this entire thread but do you interpret proclaiming truth versus the errors of Romanism and Popery as attack threads and "tearing apart his flock"?

You write: "Prayers that we come together".

What, pray tell, do we come together around? I submit that our love of doctrine is in exact proportion to our love for Christ, that our love for Biblical truth is tantamount to our love for Him.

    "Just as in the days of the Apostles, so at this day we are forced to hear from certain denominations that we (by our obstinacy to adhere to the truth) do offend against love and unity in the churches, because we reject their doctrine.

    It would be better (they say) that we should let it pass, especially since the doctrine in dispute is what they call 'no-essential' and, therefore, (they say) to stir up so great a discord and contention in the church over 'one or two' doctrines and those not the most important ones is 'unfruitful' and 'unnecessary'.  To this I reply:

    Cursed be that love and unity which cannot be preserved except at the peril of the word of God!"

- Martin Luther

If You Love Christ Then You'll Love Doctrine

“no-essential” = “non-essential”
