We do seem to always have differences ...they seem evident that they exist, and likely will continue to exist. At least, until Jesus returns to rule for those thousand years.

But, there has to be more understanding ...and a difference between how we view the direction of our growth, and how we view others, perhaps being beneficial to realize everyone is not on the same level.

Back to the the example of casting out demons and other miracles, it is God's discretion and authority to decide how things go ...as on one occasion, Jesus said to his apostles, "Do not stop him, for no one who does a miracle in My Name can in the next moment say anything bad about Me. For he who is not against us is for us.…"

Philippians 1:18, states, "But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice."

Now, it is at this moment I am asking you to put forth a little more effort to think about this. It is not contradictory how the Bible presents one thing, and then we see another example not quite the same.  When we feel something matters, or it doesn't matter ...it may be that it doesn't matter so much at this time, but it may matter more as time goes on.

Of course, certain things always matter ...and people always matter, and are not to be considered things.  And people are affected by their motives, and the motives of others.  So, though I agree with Philippians 1:18, and I do rejoice because we share the same Word, the same Bible, and the same news as we read through the Gospels of Jesus (as written by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) ...I do also have an inclination to speak the truth as I see it, as I share what we believe in common, yet also what we may not both believe.

I've sat down with several people of a different faith ...or perhaps we could call it a differing set of beliefs.  Sometimes we group it into different religions.  But, on most of those occasions, we sat down with the same Bible in front of us to read. I felt that was sufficient, yet my company had other booklets that they frequently referred to. But, I kept referring to the Bible.  And even though they said they agreed with the authority of the Bible ...many of them looked at Jesus as only a prophet.

Now, how can that be ...the Bible right before us, not only does Jesus say who He is ...God spoke from heaven, referring to Jesus as 'only' begotten, because He wasn't a human.  He became a human ...for us.  

Before that ...He was God, continued to be God, still is today, and will always be. God's Word tells us this ...and if the Bible is not entirely true, then what part of it is??

And you've probably heard of the conversation on whether we follow the 'same' God. 

If not, here it is again:
