Bible Note: John I agree with you about the possibilities of a unified church. Quite frankly that is exactly what I promoted for years, even though it has cost me dearly. However after my experience on this forum and seeing how Calvin's teachings can effect others, I'm in process of ridding my library of all his teachings. Funny at one time I referenced Calvin often many (most) times to the dismay of my peers, I honestly never saw the dark side of his teaching until I witnessed what has been displayed on this forum. I view any thought of a unified church as impossible until man realizes he can not explain what God has not revealed. And when he (man) attempts to make doctrine based on these theories he will divide and separate the church. Christianity is a religion of unity and love yet when man insists on injecting his thoughts it become twisted and distorted. Love and unity gets lost to ego and desire to be right. EdB |
