As Paul said in First Corinthians, “I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought.” Christ wanted us to be one.

You seem to imply that everyone can have their own interpretation of Scripture.

“You seem to imply that everyone can have their own interpretation of Scripture.”

Just look at the disagreements between Peter and Paul about circumcision. Paul who you quote was one of the most frequent persons to argue scripture. For Paul, it was ok to disagree with others as long as you agreed with him. How many times in his letters is he criticizing people?

And the number of times the disciples disagreed with Jesus.

Or Saul who was killing Jesus’s followers.

Even Jesus later in His life disagreed with things He said earlier in his life, such as who His ministry was for.

However, Peter really said it well when he said, “If you say that you Love God and do not Love your neighbor, you are a liar.”

Peace and harmony will only happen when we are fully filled with the Holy Spirit and commune as one with Jesus Christ.

You seem to imply that your Roman Catholic church ensures that every Catholic is perfectly united in their minds and thoughts and there are no divisions. Are you?
