It is not unusual for people to have disagreements. We have our own opinions and we will stick to those opinions even if no one agrees with us. Sometimes these disagreements can become quite heated; sometimes to the point that people won’t speak to one another. These things happen. We even see them in the bible. In Acts 15 Paul and Barnabas were about to begin their second missionary journey. Barnabas wanted to take John Mark with them (vs 37), but Paul did not agree. “...Paul insisted that they should not take with them the one who had departed from them in Pamphylia, and had not gone with them to the work.” (vs 38). Verse 39 says that “...the contention became so sharp that they parted from one another…” There was a serious disagreement between Paul and Barnabas, but we know that they handled it like Christians should because in Colossians 4:10 Paul said, “Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, with Mark the cousin of Barnabas (about whom you received instructions: if he comes to you, welcome him),” Mark is also favorably mentioned in 2 Timothy 4:11, “...Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for ministry.” There had been a disagreement between these brethren, but it had been dealt with. Christians today have the same obligation. It is inevitable that there will be friction between us from time to time. When it happens, it should be dealt with properly to avoid problems getting even bigger. In James 2:8 James writes, “If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself,’ you do well.” In Romans 13:10 Paul says, “Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.” Romans 15:2 says, “Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to edification.” And finally, Galatians 5:14 says, “For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’” Disagreements will come, friction between brethren cannot be avoided, but it can be handled as Christians should, each seeking for the other’s edification and all things being done with love.
