A discussion concerning the Love and Grace of God for all humanity... you are welcome to join me.
1 Timothy 4:9-11
This is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance (and for this we labor and strive), that we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, and especially of those who believe. Command and teach these things.

Adenominationalism

I want to introduce a theory I have on something that is not actually related to the restoration of humanity (or "the Grace of God for mankind") but it does relate to the church. For a couple of years now, I have been seraching for a term to define my view of what the Church should be and I might have just discovered the word I was looking for. It is adenominationalism. Long, but accurate... it literally means "without division". It is my belief that whether we accept it or not, the Church is One. One God, One Way, One Church... that is the Father's House; the Church is every one of us who knows the Lords salvation. Sure, within it are many mansions to use a quote, but none of them can disregard any other part of the house without seriously hurting themselves as well as others. It seems to me that we, as One House, are too far broken to ever claim "unity" in any way... even ecumenical events seem to be a farse. We need to drop our denominational titles (including the infamous and over used "non-denominational") and say what we really want to say about eachother... YOU ARE WRONG! Sure, some divisions seem tolerant and have their "views", but why be divided, then? What is the need? Now we have reinvented over 20,000 new wheels, each with it's own leadership structure that hold its own autonomy. I mean, then the Baptists ban Disney, do they check with the PCUSA or Nazarene Churches to get confirmation? Are you kidding?
Ok, I'm getting emotional and crazy now, so I'll stop...
