bb:I don't have to, it's a bogus argument and always has been. The "unity of the Spirit" that Jesus prayed for was and is a Spiritual unity.

pt: Funny, I can't find where Jesus made such a qualification, despite the quotation marks.... Fix that and I'll bother with the rest of your epistle.

For all Catholics bragging about how much Scripture they're exposed to in mass, they sure demonstrate an appalling ignorance of it.

John 17:20-26 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23 I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me. 24 Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. 26 I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.”

Unfortunately for you, the passage you quote does not support the "unity of spirit" caveat you wish it to.

It supports MY contention.
