I don't think who Christ is, soteriology, etc. are irrelevant. I don't Paul did either, so this view is unscriptural as well.
as universal or comprehensive unity is not what is being argued, as sola ecclesia does not produce this either.
This is what I've been arguing all along. So I guess we were talking past each other.
as sola ecclesia does not produce this either.
This is again where I think you are agreeing with my point that sola scriptura is unworkable in terms of resulting in teaching one Lord, one faith, one baptism. It seems to me you are saying: "no it doesn't, but it doesn't matter." Which is a different argument.
thanks again...
You are not seeing this in context, which is that the minority dissent mentioned is irrelevant, as universal or comprehensive unity is not what is being argued, as sola ecclesia does not produce this either.

Apparently. Both can produce a basic unity as well as see divisions. By Scriptural manifestation of the truth souls were persuaded by holy men, (2Cor. 4:2), and God will sort out the tares from the wheat.
