Re: [TruthTalk] Basis of Unity

[Lance Muir]

FWIW I, and I suspect all TT participants, would believe this to be true.   FWIW again, my reason for our last couple of 'engagements' was this:Debbie, John, David, Bill and Gary(he may not count as a legitimate illustration) have, with patience and care, attempted to demonstrate your ACTUALLY MISSING THE POINT, of post after post. Under such circumstances it is trying for them and, they 'move on'. Am I being patronizing? No! IFF what I have said herein is true then, do I believe that this impasse can be rectified? No!   Now, as for those who 'get' you (Izzie, Terry, David(he is comfortable in all 'camps' due to the looseness with which he embraces 'truth'), let me suggest the order of 'overlap':Izzie-almost completely (peas in a pod), Terry-frequently(he, in fact, affirms others from time to time), David-Critical disengagement makes him a friend to all and, an adversary to all)   IMO-Just musing  ----- Original Message ----- From: Judy Taylor To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Cc: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: February 06, 2005 07:41 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Basis of Unity So long as I'm in the narrow barrell and headed for the strait gate I'll be rejoicin' all the way.

When can we say unity has occurred?   jt: When we are of one heart and one mind. When we are all say the same thing and doing what He says. When a division occurs and assuming one believer in definitely in Christ  --  how does the onlooker tell the difference in the two opponents?    jt: Eventually, as ppl grow into Christ and His love is perfected in their hearts a wolf will be exposed in spite of the sheepskin by what is coming out of his mouth.
