Christian Cannibalism

I go to a large and well-known church. Many people who've gone there, or even just heard of the church, think they know all about all of the members. People think we're all exactly the same, with the same ideas, opinions and beliefs. This is not true. Christians expect to have enemies on the outside, but the real threat to Christianity comes from the inside. We are not allowing Christians to differ in any way. There is plenty of room for differences amongst God's people. I am in no way endorsing ecumenism; I believe Jesus Christ is the only way to know God and to be saved from our sin, and I believe the Scriptures are the primary way to know Christ and grow in faith. It seems to me that we the Church would do well to heed the advice of Paul to the Galatian church, and stop "biting and devouring one another." We are destroying ourselves from the inside. Galatians 5:15.
