Our community has a bad habit of developing a feel-sorry-for-myself-martydom complex. Where getting rejected becomes our identity that makes us feel righteous. Spuring us to look for the differences between us so that we can daily reestablish our martydom as the "only one who knows the truth". This is not of Yah.
Love your brothers and sisters in Messiah. Learn what's worth dividing over and what is good healthy debate/discussion. Embrace the opportunities to sharpen your iron with iron.

BUT it is very much like a "lable" to be different and when we are then talking between our bretherin then we are still looking for differences so that we can use it as a point of argument.
Yes, we should look for differences in our beliefs BUT then use it as a subject for discussion and learning; like the Bereans. It might be that we come to the understanding that both our points of view are wrong and then come to the correct understanding together.
Unfortunately the world has raised us to believe that one view has to be correct and if we then disagree then we can't walk the walk together any longer. What a pitty as we are dividing into such small groups as we will only "allow" those in our midst who believes exactly like we do.
How is it that we can disagree with a sinner and still walk a mile with them, but when it comes to our family then we turn our backs on them as soon as we find one small subject of disagreement??? 🤯
