Inter-Denominational Conflicts: The Visitor's View
A visitor has the eyes in the Christian world. While the boundaries are legalistic, the participants have not felt bound to separating one Biblical foundation from the other. For the lovers of thinking, organizing the Old and New Testaments brought revivalism to the front porch. A disciple was distinguished from an evangelists, the latter being far in terminology from a missionary. It is well to maintain the distance. Christianity lends itself to a respect of lawfulness in physicality and spirituality. Unfortunately, the physical world does not mirror that order.
Inter-denominational conflicts include everybody. Each denomination or combination is guilty. No church that I have visited ventured to openly preach an acceptance of Christian houses. Every church seemed to show an earthly preference for a way that is newer than the pillars of Christianity. Nuances should not replace thematics that valuate.
From the visitor's placemat, it is easy to see the church's views on matters of controversy, musical instruments and arrangements, and an assembly. A visitor may not know what devotion means to a church. A visitor may not understand where growth starts when following the church programming sequentially. A visitor can see how a church is contributing to the general problem of distance from a common core.
