Memes about "division"

[Shempster]

Today I had a few minutes and read some Facebook posts. I saw several memes and comments about how upset people are about all of the division in this country. Then a few lines down the same person posts something about "stupid" liberals or conservatives.

Am I the only one that thinks this is just crazy?

Isn't this the exact same thing? Isn't that dividing Americans as well?
The two paradigm system just seems way off base and yet in nearly every church group that I know of, you are expected to cling to either the "left" or the "right" and to try and show the other side how dumb their paradigm is?
It has been scientifically proven that this activity does NOT soften the other side, but rather emboldens them against the opposing group.
Worse yet, each group expects their people to accept the whole paradigm with all its tenets. Break rank in one point and you are accused of really being the other side.
And they both do it. They are just as responsible for causing more division.
I thought we were supposed to be kind to our "enemies" and do good to those who oppose us.

Can we discuss?

The question should also be asked.........WHY do we really think this world
not just nation but world is so divided.
Turned its back on GOD , and worse so have many churches.
And a HOUSE divided cannot stand.
Divide and conquer. satan knows what he is doing and he is using men in very
high places to work his agenda. Both sides are Duped.
number one. OUR KINGDOM is not of this world. Number two, both sides are
in upmost evil now. none, not one politician follows GOD
satan has this well worked out , pit man against man
as both the liberal and conservatives glory in their own sin
with their eye filled to the full of sin, and yet all the while
attack the others sin. Its a madhouse. And I refuse to vote for any of them
nor support either side. None follows my GOD and I support not a one.
amen.

Pray for them to repent . Judgement is at the door
in fact a judgment of delusion has done began. which leads to the weapon.
IT only gets worse from here on out. ONLY WORSE. but I have peace
in the LORD and fear not what is coming . JUST BLESSED PEACE amen.

Tough order.

It seems to me if one does not hold or accept the views of the other it is division.

The two groups which clashed are polar opposites. On the one hand ethnic and racial supremacists--facists

On the other, leftist groups who empower identity demographics to demonize specific ethnic, religious and racial groups. These are mostly communists and socialists.

If their politics were not an obstacle, they would make good bed mates. They both use race, religion and ethnicity (in some cases economic status) to divide.

When it comes to these polar opposite groups there will never be unity until one side has its will over the other.

The key to unity in general is to not let either pole to pull the rest of us towards them. It is always the strategy of both the extreme left and extreme right to ramp up the rhetoric and emotion/sentimentality to draw the rest of us into their web of hate.

Christians do well to stay clear of these polar opposites. Both are very good at deception...as the serpent was in Eden.

Can discussion help? Depends on what outcome you're looking for.

Is one side at fault, or are both/all sides equally at fault?

How do you get the at fault side(s) to accept correction/compromise
if it means compromising their principles (or it hurts their feelings).

That, as I think you know , is the problem.
And it will result in the loss of freedom OF SPEECH. I can take anything anyone says to me.
Cause I got the joy of the Lord. . But many cannot. free speech will be shut down in time.
Anything the govt deems as hate speech will be shut down in time.
That is what will happen. But fear not.........if speaking truth
even gets me killed.........so be it....the gospel will be told on my watch
and correction will be given. Becaues I fear not man. GOD is with all who love Him.
JESUS bled for me............if I have to bleed for him , amen.
ON that note............forgive all your persecutors , bless them and curse not.
Why do we think this is such a big move by the news, by govts etc
One world reigon one world order for total power . but my how its sold as a bill of goods
called love.

"It is true, of course, that in Germany before 1933 and in Italy before 1922 communists and Nazis or Fascists clashed more frequently with each other than with other parties. They competed for the support of the same type of mind and reserved for each other the hatred of the heretic. But their practice showed how closely they are related. To both, the real enemy, the man with whom they had nothing in common and whom they could not hope to convince, is the liberal of the old type. While to the Nazi the communist, and to the communist the Nazi, and to both the socialist, are potential recruits who are made of the right timber, although they have listened to false prophets, they both know that there can be no compromise between them and those who really believe in individual freedom."

A friend of mine (real friend) posted something about love thy neighbor. His very next post was a cartoon about why it's important to punch people when you don't like what they say. Serious head scratcher.

Not love.... Tolerance.
Everything must be tolerated and accepted, except God and his standards.
