Subject: Ecumenical Movement Avoid or Not? |
Bible Note: Yes we must guard against deception but I am always reminded of Jesus' prayer John 17:21 (NASB) 21 that they may all be one; even 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 sent Me. It seems we spend more time making sure our doctrine is not offended, not ignored and less time about being one in the body of Christ. Does this mean we compromise our doctrine? I don't think so but it also does not relieve us from trying to find solution for our division. Was it God's intent to reform the church? Yes I think it was. But no one ever claimed it was God's guidance to divide the church. That was man's solution when man determined God was able to correct the very thing scripture tells us Christ is the head of. |
