Unity's Foe

>Bro. Parker,

I read this article with great interest and I am glad someone finally summed
it all up. The bible says what does light have to do with darkness? You know
what you get when light and darkness come together....twilight...neither
light nor dark...I believe it is one of the greatest lies of the devil that
the Children of light could exist in midst of half truths....Look at=
 Israel...

However, there is one more point, I would open up for discussion that has
been on my mind and on my heart these past few days...it to has to do with
Unity but I am talking unity amongst true believers now (baptized,
sprit-filled Saints of God). Have you ever noticed all the bickering between
the different organisations or even independent churches...either the
independents go UPC bashing or UPC goes independent bashing. Folks, I wonder
what is going on here? Are we not all of one body...is that not saying that
one part of the body is calling another part names and that the toe is not
as good as the eye? A church that is divided and even if it is only because
of different policies in different organisations that people don't see eye
to eye on cannot stand. If we would quit arguing and bashing other people's
organisations and start focusing on doing some "Gates-of-Hell-bashing", can
you imagine what we could do????? If we (I mean us Oneness, Apostolic,
bible-believing Christians, filled with the Holy Ghost) bind together in
prayer, if we as one force march toegther in unity against the strongholds
of the devil...can you see it??? (I'm getting goose-bumps just thinking
about it)

Let me give you an example of what I mean...if you have an army consisting
out of different units and each unit fights and bickers and trys to put the
other down...can that army be effective in times of war? So what does it
matter if Bro. so and so is UPC and Bro. such and such is some other Oneness
organisation and Sis. what's her name is independent...are we not all one
and the same engrafted into the vine...one people under God? We are His
army...we got to march united or we are never going to get that strength and
power God intends for us to have. We have got to learn to agree to disagree
without bashing oneanother or hurting oneanother in the process....Peter and
Paul didn't quite see eye to eye in all things.=20

Okay, I quit now....maybe I'm off on this...but this is the way I feel. I'd
like it to be like on the day of Pentecost when they were all in one mind
and one accord. :) God bless. Doris
