“Thinking in terms of two realms understands the paired concepts worldy-Christia n, natural-superna tural, profane-sacred, rational-revela tions, as ultimate static opposites...and fails to recognize the original unity of these opposites in the Christ-reality.” ThinkingTwoRealityTermChristNaturalFailingConceptsOppositesUltimateOriginalsSacredUnityRationalRealmsStaticProfane Author:Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“The Head and the body are Christ wholly and entirely. The Head is the only begotten Son of God, the body is His Church; the bridegroom and the bride, two in one flesh. All who dissent from the Scriptures concerning Christ, although they may be found in all places in which the Church is found, are not in the Church; and again all those who agree with the Scriptures concerning the Head, and do not communicate in the unity of the Church, are not in the Church.” MayTwoBodyFoundChristChurchSonAgreeUnityCommunicateFleshScriptureDissentBridesBridegroom Author:Saint Augustine
“The theory of three person in one God (that is, a personal Trinity or Tri-unity) suggests polytheism, rather than the one ever-present I AM. Jesus Christ is not God, as Jesus himself declared, but is the Son of God.” PersonsThreeJesusChristSonTheoryJesus ChristUnityTrinityPolytheism Author:Mary Baker Eddy
“For Christians to be linked in association with ministries who do not preach the gospel of Christ is to incur moral guilt. A Union which can continue irrespective of whether its member churches belong to a common faith is not fulfilling any scriptural function. The preservation of a denominational association when it is powerless to discipline heretics cannot be justified on the grounds of the preservation of 'Christian unity'... It is error which breaks the unity of churches, and to remain in a denominational alignment which condones error is to support schism.” ChristianChristChurchCommonMoralBreakSupportDisciplineMembersFunctionGuiltUnionsErrorsUnityAssociationMinistryFulfillingPreservationLinkedPowerlessJustifiedAlignmentHereticSchismChristian Unity Author:Charles Haddon
“Life and death! They seem like complete opposites-at great enmity with each other. But for Paul-and for all who share his faith-there is a unity, because the same great passion is fulfilled in both-namely, that Christ be magnified in this body-our bodies-whether by life or by death.” BodySeemsPassionChristShareOppositesUnityLife And DeathFulfilledSanctificationEnmityGreat PassionComplete Opposites Book:Don't Waste Your Life Source: Don't Waste Your Life
