1 Corinthians 13:1-13 ESV / 19 helpful votes
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; ...

Hope you receive this admonition with at least a little reflection. Yes, many Christians favor a Universalists approach to theology believing that all “Christian” denominations are equally valid and theologically sound. Worse yet, some Christians stretch their Universalist philosophy even further by endorsing the validity of other religious systems. They think everybody is heading in the same direction but down different paths. If this is your idea of godly unity, (and it sure seems so), then your need to reconsider the path you’ve chosen
