No More Disputations

"A  house divided  against itself cannot stand"-President Abraham Lincoln. This quote was given by Abraham Lincoln, explaining that as long as the country was divided in their stance on slavery, they would not stand. The opposite of standing-falling. 620,000 souls died during the Civil War. Our country, our freedom, means something. Hundreds of years earlier, Christ walked on the Earth. When He came to the Americas, he commanded them not to dispute. 3Nephi 11:28-29: "   28  And according as I have commanded you thus shall ye baptize. And there shall be no   disputations   among you, as there have hitherto been; neither shall there be disputations among you concerning the points of my doctrine, as there have hitherto been.   29  For verily, verily I say unto you, he that hath the spirit of contention is not of me, but is of the devil, who is the father of contention, and he stirreth up the hearts of men to contend with anger, one with another."       Christ taught
