It's true that doctrine divides. It's also true that love unifies. The unity we have in the faith is rooted and grounded in truth and love. Remove truth (right theology and doctrine) from the mix and you have less than Biblical unity. Remove love and you have no unity. Love causes us to seek truth and share that truth with others so that we become more unified. God is truth, and as we are more acquainted with His truth, the closer we are to Him, and the closer we become to each other

Such a dichotomy it seems .. we rejoice in God's sovereignty, His Omniscience and yet we weep bitter tears of compassion for those who are hurting.
Crying or Very sad

Amen, it's a hard thing to deal with. God Himself takes no delight in the death of the wicked, yet He requires it because of He's holy and just. Praying for those who remain, that their hearts might be softened to receive the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ.

Let it be so Lord.
