Read: 2 Timothy 3:13-17

“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work” (vs. 16-17). This is one of the most quoted verses in the Bible. Scripture is useful but  it can also cause the Body of Christ to be divided due to disagreements on how some Scripture texts should be understood.

However, regardless of how we interpret controversial Scripture texts, I think we would all agree that although Scripture is “God’s word,” it is not God. When as believers we see our unity in Christ and commitment to him as more important than our pet doctrines, then the world may begin to see the Body of Christ as truly one—not a dismembered body—and be drawn to it.

When you think you know that you are right, know that others have the right to think.
