Unity under proper doctrine, but still unity. No disrespect meant theoldadam, but it seems as if you have a basic understanding of Calvinism (my guess TULIP), and think that diversity is a good thing.<BR/><BR/>It is not. Paul stressed unity and whether the local body or universal, unity should be our goal.<BR/><BR/>Cheers Andrewmattldnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09048750778048242922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970772341265505777.post-85620296787125166382009-02-10T18:01:00.000-08:002009-02-10T18:01:00.000-08:00I was going to comment on Theoldadam's comment but...I was going to comment on Theoldadam's comment but i don't know who he is, but yes, it seems quite idiotic to say big=bad.

Not sure how the conclusion follows from the premise.<BR/><BR/>Is some pastor who is slightly bigger than another pastor slightly less good for the Church? God is pretty big, is he bad for the Church?<BR/><BR/>Everyone must submit to the Church Christ founded. Period. The Church is the pillar and foundation of the truth (I Tim. 3.15) and therefore all Christians must submit themselves to it: that is God's command, not mine.Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07488676865887585143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970772341265505777.post-85833660622842576622009-02-10T10:01:00.000-08:002009-02-10T10:01:00.000-08:00Because of the sinful nature of man and his desire...Because of the sinful nature of man and his desires (his inate corruption)..the church will never be one. <BR/><BR/>I for one am glad.

LOL. <BR/><BR/>I say that completely with jest even though there may be some validity to the comment. <BR/><BR/>I have a copy of a few of Wrights books (What Paul Really Said, Paul: Fresh Perspective) that I have not had the time to read yet, which I am anticipating doing shortly. <BR/><BR/>Cheers Bro<BR/><BR/>P.S. Your absolute and utter hatred for Calvinism is showing more and more in your posts.mattldnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09048750778048242922noreply@blogger.com
