Originally posted by KellyJayI'll try to explain this to you and hopefully it will help. In light of these scriptures, which are ones we didn't write or compose but ones that are from your own Bible, they explain the way that ones would become with regards the understanding of the Bible and the unity of their beliefs as time goes by.
Either you are two independent minds or you are not. As I pointed out inside
scripture it was not uncommon to see disagreements even while viewing the
same scripture. My point to you is that if you two do express yourselves in your
questions, and you both walk away with the same line of reasoning every time
once you give your questions, that can only ha s completely brain dead and waits for the other to tell them
what they need to think.

Ephesians 4:13 (New International Version)
13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
1 Corinthians 1:10 (Today's New International Version)
10 I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that "all of you agree with one another in what you say" and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be "perfectly united" in mind and thought.
True as you say that back during the early times of the Christians there were discussions, sometimes heated ones between the apostles and diciples about what the scriptures meant.
But as time would go by then scriptures like the one at Pro 4:18 would apply.
Proverbs 4:18 (King James Version)
18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
Light in the Bible is often refferred to as knowledge and truth.
So the day of the Bible being confusing or hard to understand or something that we would be arguing over would eventually come to and end. According to these scriptures and others the Bible would no longer be a mystery. All the info in it would be clear and completely understood.
Would you agree according to these scriptures?
So I agree in the world we live in that for a group of people to say they all believe the same in the Bible sounds crazy. But I can promise you that no matter where on this planet you may go, we all believe the same and would all answer the same on any scriptural subject.
Thats over 8 million that all believe the same. We would have the same discussion with you at the door and would all have the same answer for any questions you may have about any scripture.
And as some accuse here, this is not from some dark basement brain washing experiment but it is simple knowing the very clear truth of the Bible. The Bible confirms that this would be the case even from the scriptures say at the beginning of this post.
Just try to get a get a room with 10 Baptist from other parts of the country and ask them the same question of a scripture and you'll get 10 different answers. I know because my Father in law was a Baptist Preacher and he agreed with that fact.
The Catholics are always groping with how to solve problems and disaagreements within their religion. It's been proven that Catholics from different parts of the world have different practices from others. No unity worldwide.
And those disagreements would be true with any other Christian religion as can be seen here on this forum.
So this is not to be taken as bragging or being better then anyone else which is very far from the truth as we are all follwers of Jesus. But we do believe in the Bible and what it says in that his follwers would all be in union and speak the same spiritual language. And there is always an open invitation for anyone that may be looking for that.
