Again...NOT NEWS. Does not belong in “News/Activism”. Religious philosophical discussion.
Division and unity. God calls for both, how can that be? It is the point of the division and unity that is important.
In God’s case, that point is , “who is Jesus”
Trump is good at this model also. Everyone looks at him as devicive and focus on that. But look at the point of division. What is Trumps point of division and unity?
Deuteronomy 4:2 addresses this.
Jesus told us “Do you think that I have come to bring peace on earth? No, but rather division; for henceforth in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three; they will be divide father against son and son against father, mother against doughtier “Luke 12:49-53
“In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:1
If we want peace and unity, we need to accept the Word (Truth) of Jesus and live accordingly. We say that we are followers of Jesus, yet reject His Truth, reject the Church Jesus established and the Sacraments that he left us for our path to salvation.
How can we have unity when we follow our own beliefs and not the Truth that Jesus gave us? Jesus told us that every one that commits sin, then we are a slave to sin. John 8:34
“Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death.” John 8:51
We (the saved by grace ones) will be united in heaven, not before.
Indeed, the only one true church is that which only and always consists 100% of regenerated believers, regardless of Rome which wants to basically copyright the term.
Complete New Agey tripe.
Revelations|22:19
And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and [from] the things which are written in this book.
There is only one way to be unified... and that is by the same Holy Spirit in each believer.
The Same Holy Spirit will be consistent on doctrine with ALL those who HEAR HIM.
If the Gospels differ, then it is NOT the same Spirit.
