Unity Within Christendom

[Benson]

As per your best recollection and understanding, give one Biblical tenet or doctrine which is universally accepted by those who name Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

Satan has successfully polluted and corrupted all aspects of God's Work for human redemption. He has brought doubt, obscurity, and partial destruction upon:

1.) Extant Canonized Text and supporting apocrypha.
2.) The integrity of the human genome.
3.) The Testimony of God's created Biosphere and Cosmos.
4.) The Church as Christ's Body.
5.) The existence of a Spiritual Realm in human awareness.
6.) The immortality of the human Spirit.
7.) Man in the Image of God.
8.) God's Love, Mercy, Hope, Faithfulness.
9.) Knowledge of the Eternal Judgement.
10.) Romans 8:19 "Manifestations of the Sons of God."

After all millennia since Creation, every of these works by Satan are currently in place. This indicates there is little else for him to do. Christ is soon to return in the Catching Away.

2.) Paul added far too many components to The Gospel for us to distinguish from Christ's Gospel.

Such as?

3.) Rather than bring spiritually reborn as humble and trusting little children, Gentiles instead presume to be spiritually reborn as savvy and discerning Jews. But, they are not. Gentiles are ingrafted into God's Kingdom, and we hear our own fruit, not Jewish fruit.

What scripture makes you say this?

4.) Gentiles' Faith in Christ is held to a much different standard than the Belief Christ expected from the Jews. As such, because of God's Mercy, The Church, including spiritually reborn Jews, will be removed before the purifying Seven Year Tribulation on the unbelieving and stiff-necked Jews.

Jews removed? From where? By whom?

Saved Jews and Saved Gentiles via 1 These. 4:17 harpazo #726 "catching away" is not describing The Day of The Lord. It is a separate event described here.

Are you able to praise God for His Word?

What did you mean by "Paul added far too many components to The Gospel for us to distinguish from Christ's Gospel"?

Jesus never spoke of Salvation gifted by Grace. Rather, Jesus said we must first perform the works of:

1.) Forgiving all others their trespasses before we can be forgiven by God for our trespasses.

2.) Follow His Commands before we can be His friends.

3.) Rid ourselves of riches and Godless affections.

4.) Be utterly desperate for Salvation through Him by inwardly weeping and being personally helpless in all respects.

5.) Showing God's type of love to Christians.

6.) Doing the Will of The Father.

1.) Gentiles are blocked from grasping the Hebrew oriented language Christ spoke unto the Jews.

The bible reports several gentiles conversing with Jesus and even speaks of him commending certain non Jews for their faith.
Not grasping the Hebrew language evidently did not serve as a barrier for Gentiles to accept Christ and understanding the good news then, nor should it today.

Simply because there existed believing Gentiles in Scripture does not mean all self proclaimed Christians today understand or receive Salvation.

In Acts 17 when Paul spoke to the Athenian Greeks, he did not speak of anything Jewish, because those Greeks did not comprehend Hebrew theology, language, and history. Today's Gentiles have the same limitation.

True, but does the bible not report Jesus as saying be had many people in that very city? Does the bible not have two letters to Corinthian believers?

[Benson]

I am so sorry, I cannot read your mind upon what you posted. What "city" are you referring to? Was there a particular passage in Corinthians you wished to share?

Regards.

The city of Corinth. Have you read Acts chapter 28?

[Benson]

Acts 28 has nothing to say about Corinth. Acts 17 is the account of Paul speaking to the Greeks in Athens.

Is there something you are trying to convey within this discussion for which you struggle to find cohesion and words?

[JehovahsWitness]

Acts 28 has nothing to say about Corinth. Acts 17 is the account of Paul speaking to the Greeks in Athens.

Sorry ... Acts chapter 18 my mistake.

To all,

The Bible speaks of ONE LORD, ONE FAITH AND ONE BAPTISM.

Can anyone show how the above relates to modern sectarian Christendom?

Has current sectarian Christendom in reality created literally thousands of separate sects formed by thousands of private interpretations of the Bible?

Let's hear some clear answers...

Kind regards,

JW

Acts 18 is about Paul dealing with a Jew there, and then disputing with those of the local Synagogue. I am not sure what this has to do with Paul speaking to the Greeks on Mars Hill.

Did you have something relevant to share?

If you want clear answers, we need to hear a clear question.

Are you perhaps trying to say here that because the Scripture speaks of "ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM" there is universal agreement within Christendom, and there is no heresy?
