As in no other time in our history we are in a time of information. Its an information age. It was accurately prophesied. It says in effect that knowledge shall be greatly increased in the last days of the age. This is so in the secular realms and in the Spiritual realms as well.
As this occurs, men and women have a greater opportunity to hatefully disagree with each other than in ages past where information was more limited. The reformation age quickened some of these wars. There is war in the air because of information. As believers we can disagree about some things in this age of enhanced information, but the unconditional Love of God causes a gracious overlap in us toward one another! This overlap is one of understanding and care for each other at heart level!
I have been observing Iran and Israel and I see an altogether different world view emerging in the respective parties; both appear to have some valid information. Their paradigms are so different. Unless the Love of God overlaps these two sources of information there is sure to be a massive confrontation in that area of the world. My motive is not to get us debating Iran and Israel although that would be okay; my motive is to encourage us to be able to realize our differences and then learn from one another with unconditional Love doing its finest work among us. We have a great privilege on this forum because of a common background and a going in different direction since then.
Sectarianism groups of the past age would not allow for this and demanded uniformity of belief, which actually never happened anyway. I have an Uncle who said this to me; I dont know what I believe, speaking of a certain issue, but I believe just like the church believes whatever that is. Its hard to believe that a grown and mature man would say that. Sectarianism has reached its goal when a 70 year old man can comfortably make this type of statement.
Men will fight with one another and men will also give up intellectual honesty rather than subscribe to the unconditional Love of God! So many times there is a third position and when we find this position, the reality of truth is manifesting!
