Subject: Does God approve of denominations or doe |
Bible Note: Amen, brother Lionheart. The enabling power of the Holy Spirit is certainly fully sufficient to all our needs for appropriate behavior in righteous and holy living. I'd like to see an example of a local congregation in which unity was being fully accomplished all of the time. Of course, like all of the other virtues to which we are commended, we rarely attain any of them perfectly all of the time. People laud the early church as such good examples. But, frankly, they tended to muck this unity thing up pretty badly. Of course, their error was to our benefit, since many of the epistles were written to correct them. :-) Rhetorical question: How do you do fully accomplish unity with wheat AND tares? Tares, by their very nature, can neither attain unity nor desire it. Quite the contrary. Thank you, however, for the reminder. Let's press earnestly toward it regardless, even as we are commanded! In Him, Doc |
