Two men will not agree completely
No man has everything right
Let the Holy Spirit guide you in the truth
“In essentials unity; in non-essentials liberty; in all things love.”
Most Christians have heard this variation of the historical Christian motto.
It is a favorite of those that emphasize ecumenical love over doctrinal agreement.
I have never heard it used by someone while making a stand for Bible truth,
but always from those who would have us overlook doctrinal differences,
and give up pursuing doctrinal unity in the church.
what is essential ?
what is non-essential ?
There must be important truths held in agreement
the pillar and ground of the truth 1 Timothy 3:15; 1 Timothy 2:4.
Can two walk together except they be agreed Amos 3:3?
Sound doctrine in all things is essential 2 Timothy 2:7.
We ought to speak the truth in love Ephesians 4:25.
the indwelling of the Holy Spirit
who is able to teach us from the word of God rightly divided 1 Corinthians 2:10-13.
