One Church, My Prayer

I love the idea of oneness, that is, I love the idea of one church. Just Imagine, every believer in Yeshua united for the Gospel and for the will of God... After all, neither the bible nor Yeshua Himself is defined by any particular denomination. Just truth.

Doctrine, which I believe is the primary reason for our numerous denominations, and lack of unity, is only biblically sound when it presents the complete truth that the Bible teaches, and not what we ourselves understand or validate. The Bible actually has something to teach us, and let's never forget that It already has it's truth embedded within the writing.

We, instead of reading around or through it, should instead read from it. In other words, one should begin interpretation or study of scripture with the question: What is the bible telling me here? Not: what can I get from this, make of this, or worse still, let me just add this in to meet my deadline, because I am speaking at a conference next week. There are many reasons why we fail to see the real truth in biblical doctrine, but ultimately, failure starts with us.

I know that there are always disagreements in regards to the meanings of some biblical texts. But there are some things that are fundamental and explicitly shown as being wrong. Decide for yourself, but I know that whether it be in the first testament or the second, bowing before, praying to, or worshipping a statue or image of any kind is utterly forbidden.

Now I am not attacking any particular denomination, I am however highlighting one major fact. The  church needs to seek the truth, and be ready to adjust it's ways and teaching.
