I think what you wrote was beautiful. If only we could understand the one body, one Spirit, one hope of your calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God and Father of all..(Eph. 4:4-6).

So, what is the 'one faith'?

What is the 'one baptism'?

What is "the Gospel of your salvation" of Eph. 1:12,13. It is the Gospel that saves. What gospel is it?

How are placed into this 'one body'?

What is the 'one hope of your calling'?

If we do not know what these things are, how are we going to unite into the one body?

I am not sure IF WE can unite the one body, or even if the one body is divided only in this world and not the next. That is getting into judgment, which belongs to God alone.

The Holy Spirit is the key, just as I cannot convert anyone or open anyone’s heart to the truth, I cannot put back together the rifts between Catholics and Protestants. I don’t think I am supposed to and it is not my intention when I post to a thread such as this.

I merely seek to defend my beliefs from the attacks and misrepresentations I see here.

When I am honestly questioned and sincerely respected for having a different belief, I respond in kind.

The one body exists, even if we may not see that, that is what the Church has come to realize and has it has always done, it relies on the Holy Spirit to lead us to all truths.
His will be done, and it will be done in His time and on His terms as He is ALL and nothing happens without His knowledge and His consent.
