We've seen the LCM reasoning about that over and over here.
I recall one poster asking "Shouldn't God be one in his move?" Meaning: Shouldn't God have a unified army of Christians throughout the earth who do everything in lockstep and identically.
Well, I guess you might think so if you were trained under the authoritarian Chinese mindset of Nee/Lee.
But if you see the way God operates in nature, no. If God were like the LCM concept there would be one kind of tree, one kind of bird, one kind of sunny day, one kind of cloud, one kind of wind, one kind of rainstorm, one kind of smile, one kind of pretty girl, etc, etc.
Oneness is not conformity; and division is not differences. Oneness is receiving all and seeking common ground; division is having an antagonistic attitude toward others.
Now, who do you think of when you consider those specifications?
