I just want to view other comments at this stage Ian
"Agree with one another" can we learn this one? How on earth? Does this imply agreeing to disagree on some issures, so that we may live in peace with other Christians? I've just begun the thought process. DL.

Perhaps we are being told to live out of an agreeable rather than dissagreeable disposition; that is to somehow be in tune with one another which is not necessarily the same thing as conformity.
Farewell, live in peace and the God of love and peace will be with you.
Is this who God is? The God of love and peace? So why do many church people treat one another with such harsh words?
I like the insight about living out of an "agreeable" rather than "disagreeable" nature. It is a helpful way to put it. DL.
I learned something interesting about the early Christian custom of greeting one another with a "holy kiss." This was no polite peck on the cheek, but rather a mouth to mouth contact where one believer blew into another believer's mouth -- a co-mingling of the Holy Spirit in me with the Holy Spirit in you kind of thing. Great theology, but it probably won't catch on in our churches in any widespread way! Ron F.
ron, that's very interesting. Where did you hear this? Larry cny
This is one instance when I like the old English translation for 2 Cor. 13:11. "Agree with one another"...while a good point, does not have the unique challenge of "encourage one another" as found in other versions.... "Agree" suggests the issues of the head (important), but "encourage" those of the heart... As travelers in communion with one another on planet earth - what better decribes our voacation as Christians that "to encourage one another." Peace ... Gregory in Dot, MA
