Precious friend:
(1) Yes,
Totally agree with "Truth is of utmost importance," as
God Has "MAGNIFIED His Word Of Truth Above all Else,
Including HIS OWN Holy Name!" (Psalms 138 : 2 KJB!)
This means that "you And I" are at least
united on This
One Doctrine, Correct? This
should be a Very Good
start
on
1 Corinthians 1 : 9-10 KJB
, in our "calling Of Fellowship...
...With our
LORD And Saviour, JESUS CHRIST," and Also
preventing us from having the
carnality that was
evident
in the Corinthian assembly of
Divided saints, wouldn't you say?
(2) All
members of The Body Of CHRIST Are Already
"united In The Spirit," being "seated In Heavenly Places,
In CHRIST." (
Ephesians 1 : 3,
1 : 20,
2 : 6 KJB!), Correct?
(3) Seems Ferris Beuller would
disagree with "we must rise above
doctrine"? Although his "
should have" probably somewhat Clarifies your
"we will never be united in doctrine,
at least for the foreseeable future," eh?
Precious friend, I must {even though we
disagree on osas/NOsas]
say:
Well said!:
"But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:"
(
Titus 2 : 1 KJB!)
Many years ago, a big christian radio host was "calling for christians to
PRAY FOR
unity And revival." I sent him an email,
agreeing with him, that
prayer WAS Important, but asked him IF prayer was
enough, OR, do we
Also Need to obey This Important Command Of God:
"Study to shew
thyself Approved Unto God, Rightly Dividing The Word Of Truth."
(2 Timothy 2 : 15 KJB!)...
...in order to have
Unity And revival? But, received no answer. Would
this then be a
leadership/TRADITION problem, the
listeners not knowing
whether or not "only a
half-truth" will bring revival and unity?
So, is
it ok to ask this? We all
agree that prayer Is Important,
But:
Which is
More Important? What we have to say to God, or:
What HE Has To Say TO us? Is
Rightly Divided study of
"Profitable Doctrine" Of God's Inspired Word Of Truth Important?
If not, then we {"united in The Spirit"} can "rise
above doctrine," take the
easy
way, and just
agree/unite with the
liberal ecumenical movement which states:
Let's all just "
FORGET our Differences, unite in love, And reach the world!"
Wait! Isn't that UN
Scriptural, When God Plainly And Clearly Teaches:
"...Be ye Not Unequally YOKED with UNbelievers...Come OUT from
among them, and be ye SEPARATE!..." (
2 Corinthians 6 : 14-18 KJB!)
--------------------------------------
So, in Conclusion, Now what do we do? I am Certainly
united with Most
here who Are
Very Concerned, and praying, about this. The top four
"Milk" Doctrines Of God, Causing NO Unity, I believe, are these
:
(1) Which
Bible version is actually
God's Preserved Word Of Truth?
(2) Are we "Saved By GRACE Through faith," of "faith Plus works"?
(3) Is
water baptism
actually required, for ANY reason, today,
Under GRACE?
(4) Does God Have
Only one gospel, or
TWO, which are being "wrongly
Combined" Causing Massive
Confusion, And Severe Division? {NO unity!}
Note: there is one "Meaty Controversy" {rapture} to discuss, but How
can new-born babes In CHRIST get
involved in that when they are still
Thoroughly Confused about The Above 4 "Milk" Doctrines?
If we "rise
above doctrine," and don't Even Try To
discuss these things,
contending for the faith, fighting the battle of spiritual warfare, HOW Is
The Truth Ever going to be "Brought Up"? Is there a
better way?
Now you know WHY I am Very Concerned even as Most of you, Correct?
I pray we ALL are trying to do the following!:
"Endeavouring to keep the Unity Of The Spirit In The Bond Of Peace!"
(Ephesians 4 : 3-6 KJB!) Amen?
Precious friend(s),
Please Be Very Richly Blessed!
See you {In
Total UNITY!} In God's Great GloryLand!! ♫ ↑
