Re: Unity
A chorus of voices keeps harping the unity tune. What they are saying
is, "Christians of all doctrinal shades and beliefs must come together
in one visible organization, regardless....Unite, unite!" Such teaching
is false, reckless, and dangerous. Truth alone must determine our
alignments. Truth comes before unity.
Unity without truth is hazardous. Our Lord's prayer in John 17 must be
read in its full context. Only those sanctified through the Word can
be one in Christ. To teach otherwise is to betray the gospel.
--Charles Haddon Spurgeon
" ...and they have believed that You sent Me. I pray for them. I do not
pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are
Yours....Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth...that they
may be one in Us...I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made
perfect in one." (~John 17:8-9,17,21,23)
Pilate said to Him, "What is truth?" (John 18:38)
Jesus said to him (Thomas),"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No
one comes to the Father except through Me. (John 14:6)
