That they may be one.....Jesus prayed in John 17

One Lord, one faith, one baptism.....Paul in Ephesians 4

When did the Church become no longer one? When did Christians no longer share the same faith?

When the authority of the pope and the Church was rejected.
The Church needs a leader who is appointed by the head who is Jesus Christ.

One may believe they have no need of anyone but themselves and their Bible, but that is not the way that Jesus and His first followers believed.

The body of Christ is one but it’s not allegiance to the pope that makes them one.

It’s being born again, in Christ.

THAT is the body of Christ, not a religious organization.
