And I love hearing when they disagree, like why they disagree and taking them back to the scripture.

And even looking, Hannah, like they weren't talking about these issues in the New Testament, but they had issues like this that the church almost split over.

One of the biggest ones was whether Gentiles had to

basically adhere to the Jewish law, whether they had to be circumcised, whether they had to be ceremonial clean, whether they could eat with the Jewish people.

Like the church leaders got together for several days.

They prayed, they sought the Lord and they came away with it.

There's still things we disagree on, but here's what we will agree on.
