COLMAN Sat, 29 Aug 2009 14:52:59 +0000 http://www.apologeticsindex.org/?p=251#comment-93011 Unity is based on truth not on a presumed total separationfrom what they havebeen inbued with as 'evil' when in fact the Church is composed of wheat and tares and only the LORD KNOWS THOSE WHO ARE HIS-ONLY HE. It is timeous now for the many schismatic groups of Exlusive Brethren to eschew their groupclaims to total rectitude, to leave past divisions behind as the works of the EVIL ONE and to grasp that thay are one in CHRIST JESUS and authority rests in SOLA SCRIPTURA. To continue to sit in the illusion 'that we and only we are right' is a presumption only, a self-enhancing propaganda learned over the years to the detriment of God's testimony, not to breakdown, but to the mind of Man erring in doctrine and practice. Sorrow overthe past and humility in the present may be the keystones to those many groups to visit one another's 'meetings' and to see how little stands between them and to share meetings in the spirit of oneness not implied superiority. It maytake some overcoming yet the time to begin is now-send the fire, the Spirit and Scripture looked at anew and allow God to be God.
