Re: The Fallacy of Ecumenism
Hello Evangelical,
In your post (forgive me for not quoting here bc I'm on my phone and that is cumbersome)
You mention "spiritual unity and practical unity"
That bothered me bc practical means everyday necessary things - how we apply spiritual principles in our daily life. I don't see any practical unity between LSM and anyone who doesn't follow that leadership & teaching - even with brother/sisters that have met together for decades prior to some split. And such divisiveness! Split after split, storm after storm! Each one leaving so many believers stranded...
When Paul spoke of those takin the name of Appollos etc. they were still very much part of the church - the body.
But now anyone who has a name on the door is in Babylon. That ain't right.
From where I stand it looks like just one more doctrine to divide.
It is an excuse. A teaching of man elevated above the commandments of God
(Love your neighbor and maintain the oneness)
