Here is the situation:
The divided ones (denominations) are pretending they are not divided, they are "one body". Because they meet together occasionally and shake hands and smile, some of you are deceived to believe this.
The ones calling out the divisions and stressing unity, back to Christ, back to the ground of locality, are called out as being divisive.
For some reason some of you here find it is acceptable to bad mouth the lord's recovery and claim they are being divisive, but it is not acceptable to state that the denominations are divisive which they clearly already are and have been for hundreds of years.
Who has the log and splinter my friend?
Some genuine believers in the Lord moved to the USA, yet I don't see the denominations welcoming them? Instead, books were published slandering them and saying they were a cult. These publishers, though being Christians, apparently, were rightly sued.
Others have since come out and defended them as not being a cult, after a long period of research and trying to reconcile misunderstandings.
They think being divisive is not to meet based upon having Christ as our foundation and the region in which we live as our locality. Denominations were upset with that because it touched their precious organized, institutionalized and long-standing divisions and traditions.
