thank u rizen1 ! i feel very welcome. I believe that Christ's body is coming together now more than ever. years ago I asked a simple question on a forum like this and was called the devil. Everyone quickly left the site and I was left wondering why. What I asked was, why are we, the children of God so differentiated in our opinions of the "proper" interpretation of the bible? Why all the different Christian denominations? Why don't we unite and stand together in our commonalities, that Jesus Christ is Lord!? I gathered that they automatically assumed that I was encouraging the "one world religion" the one that the Bible says will be a sign of the end times. Well I still hold to that belief, that a fragmented body of Christ is of the devil, not unification. Recent years have displayed a tendancy towards unification of the Christian body and if anything is going to come from the devil, it's going to be further fragmentation. but anyways, no harm no foul!
I understand their need to be concerned about such things and I'd be willing to bet that they are all still living within the will of God. IMHO the one world religion will do everything BUT lift the name of the Lord Jesus Christ on high.
