Did you know that Jesus came to divide?
Mat 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Mat 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Disagreements are actually GOOD also.
1Co 11:18 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
1Co 11:19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.
You see the GOOD and APPROVED were even being kicked out from the local congregations. So who had the Good? - the congregation are the one thrown out? - obviously some that were thrown out. So divisions and disagreements can be good.
So when isn't debate and disagreement good? - when it turns to hate!
You see when your disagreement turns to attacks on the person or your take pleasure in opposing another then you war against flesh and blood and no longer against the spirit. You need to keep your disagreements focus on the spiritual principle of ideas and opinions and not against the person.
Eph_6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
