Paul said we should strive to agree, but that denominational differences are inevitable

Actually, he said heresies are inevitable. Do you think denominational differences are synonymous with heresies?

“Paul said we should strive to agree, but that denominational differences are inevitable
Actually, he said heresies are inevitable.”

No, it was Romans 14 quoted above by another poster, and has nothing to do with “heresies” but rather denominational issues.

Here:

“Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters. 2One man’s faith allows him to eat everything, but another man, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. 3The man who eats everything must not look down on him who does not, and the man who does not eat everything must not condemn the man who does, for God has accepted him. 4Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
5One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. 6He who regards one day as special, does so to the Lord. He who eats meat, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains, does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God. 7For none of us lives to himself alone and none of us dies to himself alone. 8If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.”

No, I refer to the Roman 14 text that has been oft-quoted, refering to non-core issues.
