Greeting
I looked inside my heart, and ask the word, are we? against ourselves, and we grieve the Holy Spirit, Is Satan against Satan

In Phil 2:3-5 Doing nothing through envy or through pride, but with low thoughts of self let everyone take others to be better than himself; Not looking everyone to his private good, but keeping in mind the things of others. Let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus

Phil 1:15-17 Though some are preaching Christ out of envy and competition, others do it out of a good heart: These do it from love, conscious that I am responsible for the cause of the good news: But those are preaching Christ in a spirit of competition, not from their hearts, but with the purpose of giving me pain in my prison.

2 Cor 1:12 For our glory is in this, in the knowledge which we have that our way of life in the world, and most of all in relation to you has been holy and true in the eyes of God; not in the wisdom of the flesh, but in the grace of God.

Titus 1:9-10 Keeping to the true word of the teaching, so that he may be able to give comfort by right teaching and overcome the arguments of the doubters. For there are men who are not ruled by law; foolish talkers, false teachers, especially those of the circumcision,

Phil 1:16-17 These do it from love, conscious that I am responsible for the cause of the good news: But those are preaching Christ in a spirit of competition, not from their hearts, but with the purpose of giving me pain in my prison.

2 Cor 12:20 For I have a fear that when I come, you may not be answering to my desire, and that I may not be answering to yours; that there may be fighting, hate, angry feeling, divisions, evil talk about others, secrets, thoughts of pride, outbursts against authority;

Prov 30:11-14 There is a generation who put a curse on their father and do not give a blessing to their mother. There is a generation who seems themselves to be free from sin but is not washed from their unclean ways. There is a generation, O how full of pride are their eyes! Oh, how their brows are lifted up! There is a generation whose teeth are like swords, their strong teeth like knives, for the destruction of the poor from the earth, and of those who are in need from among men.

Prov 11:24-26 A man may give freely, and still, his wealth will be increased; and another may keep back more than is right, but only comes to be in need. He who gives a blessing will be made fat, but the curser will himself be cursed. He who keeps back grain will be cursed by the people, but a blessing will be on the head of him who lets them have it for a price.

1 Cor 11:27-34 If, then, anyone takes the bread or the cup of the Lord in the wrong spirit, he will be responsible for the body and blood of the Lord. But let no man take of the bread and the cup without testing himself. For a man puts himself in danger, if he takes part in the holy meal without being conscious that it is the Lord's body. For this cause, a number of you are feeble and ill, and a number are dead. But if we were true judges of ourselves, the punishment would not come on us. But if punishment does come, it is sent by the Lord, so that we may be safe when the world is judged. So then, my brothers, when you come together to the holy meal of the Lord, let there be waiting for one another. If any man is in need of food, let him take his meal in his house; so that you may not come together to your damage. And the rest I will put in order when I come.

Malachi 3: 16 - 18 Then those in whom was the fear of the Lord had talked together: and the Lord gave ear, and it was recorded in a book to be kept in mind before him, for those who had the fear of the Lord and gave thought to his name. And they will be mine, says the Lord, in the day when I make them my special property; and I will have mercy on them as a man has mercy on his son who is his servant. Then you will again see how the upright man is different from the sinner, and the servant of God from him who is not.

1 Tim 3:1-7 This is a true saying, A man desiring the position of a Bishop has a desire for good work. The Bishop, then, is to be a man of good name, the husband of one wife, self-controlled, serious-minded, having respect for order, opening his house freely to guests, a ready teacher; Not quickly moved to wrath or blows, but gentle; no fighter, no lover of money; Ruling his house well, having his children under control with all serious behavior; (For if a man has not the art of ruling his house, how will he take care of the church of God?) Not one newly taken into the church, for fear that, through his high opinion of himself, he may come into the same sin as the Evil One. And he is to have a good name among those outside the church so that nothing may be said against him and he may not be taken by the designs of the Evil One.

Christian looking for faults in one another
If we can't learn from grace one another

In Psalm 55:14 We took sweet counsel together And walked to the house of God in the throng.

Isaiah 59:9 Therefore justice is far from us, Nor does righteousness overtake us; We look for light, but there is the darkness! For brightness, but we walk in darkness!

2 Corinthians 10:3-4 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,

Ephesians 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

Galatians 6:1Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.

2 Corinthians 2:7 so that, on the contrary, you ought rather forgive and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one be swallowed up with too much sorrow.

Romans 15:15 - 16 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

1 Corinthians I speak as to wise men; judge for yourselves what I say.
The cup of blessing which we bless is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break is it not the communion of the body of Christ?

James 3:13 Who is wise, and is understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom.

Please sick to the subject please walk-in grace

looked inside my heart, and ask the word, are we? against ourselves, and we grieve the Holy Spirit, Is Satan against Satan

Proverbs 27:17 as iron sharpens iron so one sharpens another.
Then there are the proverbs about the sweet wounds of a friend
And Paul's commendation of the berans who tested what they heard by scripture.

On this forum there are plenty of disagreements, none I am aware of are nasty or offensive, if there are I missed them.

The point I am making is there is no one official Bible, church, church service.
No one approved method of preaching, praying etc etc and people can disagree about everything and anything, we no longer burn those with opposing views at the details.

I am not aware of churches that publicly attack other church's for there practices or doctrine and in the case of westborough maybe they should.

At the end of the day, on the day of judgement what counts is whether your or my name is written in the Lambs Book of Life.
