Danger of Attitudes in the Body of Christ

1 Timothy 6:3-5 

3 If anyone teaches false doctrines and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, 

4 he is conceited and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions 

5 and constant friction between men of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.

Titus 3:9-11 

9 But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless. 

10 Warn a divisive person once, and then warn him a second time. After that, have nothing to do with him. 

11 You may be sure that such a man is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned.

James 3:14-16 

14 But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. 

15 Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil.

16 For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.

1 John 2:9-11 

9 Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness. 

10 Whoever loves his brother lives in the light, and there is nothing in him to make him stumble. 

11 But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness; he does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded him.

1 John 3:10-18 

10 This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother.

11 This is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another. 

12 Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother's were righteous. 

13 Do not be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you. 

14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. Anyone who does not love remains in death. 

15 Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life in him.

16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. 

17 If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? 

18 Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.
