Uniting Church/Journey Newspaper November 2009 Issue......
'PATHS TO UNITY'
MARDI LUMSDEN spoke regarding 'unity' amongst all the different religions and emphasised the words of the WORLD Council of Churches. Mardi tried so hard to explain that all churches are but individual facets of the one diamond, that diamond being the true church of the living GOD....Jesus the Christ. But this is not at all remotely true, it is an outright lie....Ref/ 2 John 9-11.

▪ Mardi said...."What kind of witness is it to see churches Divided".

I believe it is a biblical witness and an end time witness, definitely not a CHANNEL 10 Witness, that would be dodgy. No, for when we see disunity and so-called brother rising up against brother, children running the house and parents, lawlessness in vogue, women with women and men with men forsaking their natural ways, the gospel being sold and promoted as a means of financial gain and prestige.....it is all a 'loving-warning' from the God of Holiness, the God of the narrow road of truth - a truth that delivers all from known-sin and a sure call to look up for your redemption or your damnation draws nigh, nearer than ever before. Ref/Matthew 10:34-39.

Mardi reckons Jesus wants us to talk about his message....but....it would be against Jesus to try to ram it down peoples throats and it would be also against Jesus to try to get people to give up their own faith...ref/Exodus 20:3.

Mardi was quick to go into bat for the 'Muslim - Faith' in the same newspaper when she wrote that.....the Muslim's believe that Jesus is all the following.....the Messiah, a word from God and a spirit from God. Are the UC, Anglicans, RC or Pentecostals any better than Oprah?

▪ WITHOUT ME - JESUS, YOU CAN DO NOTHING OF ANY GOOD OR LASTING VALUE ALL YOUR EFFORTS FOR PEACE, UNITY AND STABILITY ARE IN VAIN AND CONTRARY TO ME AND MY WAY/TEACHING...John 15:5, John 14:6...Selah....click.

What Mardi hasn't understood is that it is in no man or woman's hand to draw guidelines and standards, requirements of acceptance or the conditions of unity, peace or fellowship, neither is it for the WCC.

All of these paths are laid out bare and beautifully within Sola Scriptura... the doctrine of the Christ. Unity is not something we aim at or hope to accomplish in our own strength or group agreement, that would be setting ourselves up for double - minded living and instability. All done outside of Christ, Christless.......... 2 Corinthians 6:14-18

No, unity is a result and the outcome of individuals of all colours, race, religions and sinfilled backgrounds (repenting) surrendering to the one true, wise, holy and eternal God....Jesus the Christ. If it is not the unity of 'the faith/doctrine of the Christ', it is not true unity, it is only insincerity, just a whole lot of pretense. A One-World Church in total agreeance without Jesus as Head, a Utopia where Jesus is not on the throne......The Devil's Delight!
