Be Blessed.

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity (Love), I am become as a sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vauneth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seekth not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth.

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is (Love) charity.

Noah,

It would make more sense if they refrained from fighting at all. Jesus represented peace. He told us in Matthew 5:16 to let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. How can they say they represent Jesus, when Jesus represented peace? How does that look to the outside world. How does that look to a person struggling with their soul? How many sinners will this kind of activity draw in? They are suppose to be good stewards over the work that God gave them to do. How many souls did they turn away from the church that day? I truly pray for them.

Be Blessed.
