Bible Note: Hi, Norrie. WCF is Westminster Confession of Faith. Wow! What a thread this is. I haven't read anything on the forum lately or posted anything, but this evening I happened upon this thread and decided to wade through it. My eyes got tired before I finished it [I assume it has an end somewhere :-)], and so I have stopped at your question about WCF. I've no pearls of wisdom to impart on the topic of unity in the church and among Christians. Man learned addition first (we assume) and did himself no apparent harm in practicing his newly developed skill. Likewise, when he learned subtraction and multiplication, he soon discovered their practical and beneficient uses. But when he learned the subtle skill of division, he did himself in. Man soon discovered that division, unlike the other three functions, has some terrible side effects -- separating man from man, and man from God. But then, unity is hardly a thing that mankind has really proved himself capable of. It might be said that Adam initially had a certain unity, albeit a lonely one. Then Eve stepped in. unity stepped out, and things have been rather disharmonious and hectic ever since :-) --Hank |
