We (here on TT) have gone a long way in proving that unity based on "true" doctrine is not the pathway to unity. All of the issues listed below were discussions over what the Bible has to say about those particular concerns. Not one person on this site believes in "doctrines of men." All are trying to approximate the truth. If we cannot allow for "unity" to found in the commonality of our search for truth, there will be no unity in Christ.

We lay aside doctrines of men and everything that does not conform us to godliness and
holiness and we receive with meekness the "engrafted word" which is able to save our souls.
Think about it; if we do not unite and gather around the truth of His Word - we will never agree on
which spirit is the "holy one" because we will have no frame of reference. judyt
