"On agreeing to disagree" is a political correct term meaning we can both disagree and yet somehow be right in our own way. Jesus NEVER "agreed to disagree'. There was always a right & wrong. What does, "On agreeing to disagree" have to do with Mark 6:6-12? ... for love covers a multitude of sins. 1 Pet. 4:8 NLT

Hi Izzy, This is a very good point you make. This has happened to me. A woman I met at bible study who was not saved really liked me and started to come to my house and called me often. She saw no wrong in lying if it suited her and doing all sorts of things that were wrong. I told her the truth and admonished her to repent. When she would not, I did have to tell her I did not want to visit with her any longer and I told her why. It was classic. I was not angry with her but there was no fellowship as I walked in the light, and she in the dark and she would not step into the light. This is such a good scripture. God bless you for posting. Love to you, Sister. Rhonda  Romans 14 verse 5 One person regards one day holier than other days, and another regards them all alike. 3 Each must be fully convinced in his own mind.

On further investigation .... From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Agree to disagree or "agreeing to disagree" is a phrase in English referring to the resolution of a conflict (usually a debate or quarrel) whereby all parties tolerate but do not accept the opposing position(s). It generally occurs when all sides recognise that further conflict is unnecessary, ineffective or otherwise undesirable. They may also remain on amicable terms while continuing to disagre The phrase first appeared in print in 1770 when, at the death of George Whitefield, John Wesley wrote a memorial sermon which acknowledged but downplayed the two men's doctrinal differences: "There are many doctrines of a less essential nature ... In these we may think and let think; we may 'agree to disagree.' But, meantime, let us hold fast the essentials..."[1] Wesley was the first to put the phrase 'agree to disagree' in print.[2] The phrase "agree to differ" appeared in 1785;[2] its advantage over "agree to disagree" is that it doesn't pose a logical contradiction.[3] Its disadvantage is that it isn't as memorable. Although the phrase is normally reserved for informal and temporary arrangements in political affairs, the Latin phrase modus vivendi means "way of living", and is used in the same manner as "agree to disagree". However, it can be thought of as a thought terminating cliche in certain circumstances. You may delete what I first said. ... for love covers a multitude of sins. 1 Pet. 4:8 NLT

God deals on the basis of only ONE will. His. And there is no room for disagreement. You merely believe God just because He has said "it." Heresy is when someone presents an alternative "choice" to the mind of the believer. There is NO CHOICE in the matter. Believers OBEY GOD! Bottom line. Top line, too. Salvation is of the LORD

hi izzy,yes i would think that Jesus was in no way saying "ok,you are right too" quite to the contrary,when He said "shaking the dust off your feet, as a testimony against them" this wasnt good,this wasnt good at all!! i mean,these people just rejected the message of the Savior of the world, the Lord of Host!! not good to be in their shoes at all,very bad situation they were in! but this is definitly not Jesus agreeing with any one. blessings to you as you seek to understand Gods word.

I didn't think for one minute that Jesus thought they were right too. My point is, that here at BC, we are of many doctrines, we are of different cultures and we may not all agree all of the time on certain points of doctrine. So, we have to agree to disagree...not shove our point of view down another's throat because we cannot accept that they do not see things the way we do. That is not biblical. Thank you for your comments though and the gracious way in which you commented, God bless
