With Whom do We Join in the Pursuit?

Paul told Timothy to "pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace" (notice this next qualifier) "with those who call on The Lord out of a pure heart" (2Timothy 2:22).  Attempting to pursue peace with those who use The Lord as a cover and are not sincere often results in anguish, turmoil, arguments and anything but peace.  Paul tells the believers in Rome to avoid such people (Romans 16:17-20).

Arguing scripture leads to strife.  Discussing scripture leads to life.
