i found the most amazing verse that seemed to be the key to keep unity in the body and a road map back to the unity Jesus wanted for us.
Titus 3:8-10 This is a trustworthy statement; and concerning these things I want you to speak confidently, so that those who have believed God will be careful to engage in good deeds. These things are good and profitable for men. But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and strife and disputes about the Law, for they are unprofitable and worthless. Reject a factious man after a first and second warning,
i also heard bill johnson talk about the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit. he said to do what you know is wrong is how you grieve the Holy Spirit and shut down the fruits. to shut down the flow of the gifts is how you quench the Holy Spirit. and from a new Christian on we have to learn both to act in character(fruits) and to let the fire flow(gifts). idk if he said it that way but i heard it that way and it made a ton of sense to me. feel out the fruits and the gifts and dont shut them down, explained to me some of what is going on inside both during mistakes and successes. i hope that made sense:)
