Let us reason together ….

Isaiah 1:18“Come now, and let us reason together,”says the LORD, “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.”

Thomas Campbell

In faith, unity; in opinion, liberty; in all things, charity.

Ephesians 4:1-3I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Let Us Reason Together With lowliness (low estimate of one’s self) With gentleness (bear faults of others) With longsuffering (patient, not hasty) While “bearing one another in love” (the

most tender, unselfish of all affections)

Love’s Character patient kind doesn’t envy doesn’t boast not arrogant not rude doesn’t demand

own way

not irritable not resentful doesn’t rejoice in

wrongdoing bears all things believes all things hopes all things endures all things

Ephesians 4:1-3I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Romans 14 probably applies

Romans 14:1-3Receive one who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful things. For one believes he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables. Let not him who eats despise him who does not eat, and let not him who does not eat judge him who eats; for God has received him.

Romans 14:5,6One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks.

Romans 14:10-13But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

Romans 14:10-13For it is written:“As I live, says the LORD,Every knee shall bow to Me,And every tongue shall confess to God.”

Romans 14:10-13So then each of us shall give account of himself to God. Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother’s way.
