Division

So many denominations, Baptist, Anglican, Reformed, Methodist, …
So, how many churches are there?
ONE.

Reminds me of how racist some people are.
Black, white, yellow, … so many.
How many races are there?
ONE.
The human race.

That’s it. There’s only one race, and we’re all in it together.
And there’s only one church. THE church, and we’re all in it together.

Someone sent me these references today. (Thanks Rose Naomi. Appreciated).

Psalms 133
See how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity!

John 17
That they all might be one, just as you- father are in me and I’m in you-. That they also may be one in us so that the world should trust that you- sent me. And the glory which you- gave me, I’ve also given to them so that they may be one just as we are one. I in them and you- in me, so that they may be made complete in one, and so that the world may perceive that you- sent me, and that you’ve- loved them just as you’ve- loved me.

1 Corinthians 1
And I entreat you= brothers, through the name of our lord Yeshua the Anointed, that you= should all say the same thing, and that there might not be any divisions among you=, and you= might be restored to the same mind, and to the same opinion.

Ephesians 4
With all humility and gentleness, with patience, being tolerant of one another in love, being diligent to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace. There’s one body and one spirit, just as you= were called in one expectation of your= calling,

Read those four references and see how you measure up. What is your conclusion based on those Bible verses?

Yahweh told us to be one. Yeshua told us to be one.
We decided to divide into thousands and to justify it because those other denominations don’t interpret the Bible correctly. Are we? Didn’t he tell us to be ONE? Are we doing that?

Yeshua even said in his prayer, that the reason it’s important for us to be one, is so the world would know that Yahweh sent him.
It’s that important! Is it that important to you?

How different would the church be if we had found a way to stay as one even when we disagree on something?
How different would our message to the world be if we had found a way to stay as one even when we disagree on something?

Married people do that all the time. We don’t always agree 100% on everything, but we know we are one, and we want to keep it that way, so we find a way forward.

Yeshua is coming back for his bride. Singular.

Let’s find a way to be one. United. A body. Without divisions.

It took us almost 2,000 years to get this divided. Even if you can help the church take one step back towards unity. It will help undo some of the damage we’ve done to his church.

What do you think we can do to fix it?
