Christiainity is not about getting along - it is about having the right message. If you don't have that, you have nothing - period. And unity with perverse messages just means you walk into hell together.. that is the sentence for false teaching - remember. Let's not lose site of the truth in the mutual good will society.

I disagree HAvoc -- at the very least look at the events of 9/11, in Beslan, in the southern phillipines, in Sudan, in Nigeria, the slaughter of the Coptic family in New Jersey etc. -- different denominations of CHRISTIANS under attack -- I don't care that they were Orthodox, CAtholic, Protestant, Anglican, Coptic etc., they were innocents, they were Christians targetted. If we do NOT show solidarity with these people, we are worthless

Solidarity with fellow humans is a given, sir, I was talking about spirituality. I can stand next to a heathen and defend his mortal life. That doesn't make him my spiritual brother. When it comes to that side of things, it seems you want everyone to get along at the expense of the message. And there is no doubt that the message is the matter of import because it determines our spiritual end - something we will live with long after physical demise. If you lose perspective on that, then all is for naught to begin with.

Compromising to get along with one's neighbors is great, so long as it isn't compromise of the message. Like I said, the message is unpopular. The truth divides and enrages. And compromising the truth is apostacy - no matter what "noble" purpose you put to it.
