Actually,

the way “Christians” rant and rave about petty chaff

DISTINCTIVES of their RELIGIOUS CLUB

I suspect God is thoroughly disgusted with CLUB BRAND names on church doors and church yards.

His Son didn’t die for ego-driven pettiness.

Some differences are substantial and deserve their distinctive treatments . . .

But so many are just noise, chaff . . . originated in political ego driven conflicts and perpetuated in much the same or a similar spirit, imho.

To think God has any respect for such over his 2 HIGH PRIORITY COMMANDMENTS . . . is, imho, delusional.

Indeed, if we don't get the Great Commandment right - nothing else will matter, as the Church of Ephesus discovered:

Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.

Nevertheless I have [somewhat] against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. – Revelation 2:1-5

To God be the glory!
