I also think of 1Cor. where the question is asked is Christ divided?

What unity of Faith are we suppose to come to as a body?

Those are 'right on' questions. I would like to hear people answer the last two especially.

Christ is not divided, but the church is!
It really doesn't matter where you are, or what color you are, or what denomination you are,
the one thing that should bind us all together is love.
We should all be known for our love.
For God is Love, and those who love, are of God.
The church has fallen away from it's first love, and they have gone the way of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel.

The church has become a clanging symbol, a sound without meaning, it lacks love!

It's time for the real children of God to arise and shine!
You will know them by their love.

1 John 4:20

"If a man say he love God and hateth his brother, he is a liar, for he who hath not love his brother who he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?"

The answers to your ?s Christ is not divided True Christians are scattered like salt on the earth and you see one once in a while the others are just pretenders or just deceived into believing that their sin is ok! They have been tought to be ok with their sinfulness and that they don't have to put on the garment of righteousness and prepare to come out and meet the bridegroom. What color is their garment is it white washed by the blood of the Lamb. Sorry for the rant, I just get carried away. We are to be salt and not get discouraged by the false Christians, very wide is their path ours is very narrow. Do take notice of this when your sharing with one and they get a blank stare on their face then ask a big controversial ? just walk away they are taken over and your talking to a zombie, just love them and move on don't argue with zombies.

It's because the churches are not obeying the scriptures,
The command to love.

They have become a clanging cymbal, having no effect, because they lack love!

Those who love are of God, doers of the word are the children of God.
They love God with all their hearts, with all their minds, with all their strength, and they obey the word to Love your neighbor as yourself.

Children of God abide is His love.

They are not tossed to and fro with every wind of doctrine.

There is only love.

For God is love!

Love against which there is no law.

Jesus fulfilled the law by Love it is the only thing in which there is no law against.

God Bless my mom, she put cor.13. 4-7 in front of the toilet in our bathroom. So you had no chioce but to read it often. She is gone now to be with our Lord Jesus but I have followed her lead and now have it posted there also. It has been always in my heart because of this. I reciently heard someone say that your love for the Lord is measured by the one you love the least. Something to think about? God bless, pickles
