My question to you:

Who is your brother?

My standard is found in John 1:12.

This is dangerous territory, Baron. I did a thread like this not long ago and it instantly turned ugly. By the third post, it was already personal and accusatory. I was called so many ugly names and diagnosed with so many mental illnesses that I actually took a break from AFF for a while. It was ridiculous. Here it is, by the way:

Honestly Bro, I am not the sage, I just don't know. If we have to read Machiavelli to be able to navigate between brethren, then we have missed it.

I shoud be able to fellowship with you and you with me without any other motive than being brothers.

maybe that makes me naive or a compromiser... fine... whatever

I was just thinking that there are folks that I don't care much for on a personal basis that I would still consider my brother.

Thanks. I agree.

Christianity is so much bigger than those who believe like us.

It would be much better, though, if everyone agreed with me on everything. They really should. Then they could all be correct all the time.
