Even if there were a million different things I'm okay with it.
Not even two believers believe the same on all points.
Even when Christians split over issues and CLAIM its due to some "difference in belief" usually I find there's hurt feelings or egos underneath rather than hard core doctrinal differences. The 1054 schism was not essentially doctrinal, imo.
Viva la difference! I'll let the Lord sort it all out when He returns.
Fact is, we ARE one in the Spirit. Jesus prayer for union WAS answered and is being answered.
This Baptist believes in the holy catholic church and the communion of saints in the here-and-now.
I've enjoyed the Lord's Supper with "Closed" Bretheren, believe it or not, and then on down the block to the Pentycostals in Tourcoing, France.
If the Church had not enforced an artificial unity from 600 AD until 1000 AD, I believe we'd have even more variety today and the world would be a better place.
Freedom of thought in society fosters variety. I can live with that.
Someday the Supreme Arbiter will settle all disagreements. Maranatha!
