It is like the precious oil on the head, running down on the beard, on the beard of Aaron, running down on the collar of his robes! It is like the dew of Hermon, which falls on the mountains of Zion! For there the LORD has commanded the blessing, life forevermore. (Psalm 133 ESV) Post Reply

I am always amazed with the various passages people present through their individual study and reading. Even though we may have read a passage many times, it often stand sout in a new light depending on our individual need in life. Post Reply

It seems to me in a community like these forums there are believers from all walks and of course there will be disagreements of doctrine (admittedly I do not know much of) and interpretation but the most important of all and what should be our core of unity is (basically) the death, burial resurrection of Christ, trusting Him alone and living in faith. I realize there is so much more too... so hope to learn and grow together and God guide us to His truth. Post Reply

Posted : 9 Sep, 2013 01:30 PM "our core of unity is (basically) the death, burial resurrection of Christ, trusting Him alone and living in faith" It's not sufficient to throw around the same terminology and believe that two people are in unity. One must define and explain the terms and implications of the terms being used. "The devil is always in the details" For example, the term "God" has very different meanings and applications to various individuals. To a Muslim - God is Allah To a New Ager - God is a higher power/ the universe itself To a Hindu - a cow To a Charismatic - Santa Claus To mainstream Evangelicals - Themselves .... and so on You will quickly find out once a true detailed explanation is given, there really is very little unity at all.

Posted : 9 Sep, 2013 05:53 PM To a Christian: "our core of unity is (basically) the death, burial resurrection of Christ, trusting Him alone and living in faith" The key word being Christ. The death: Why did Christ die...to pay the blood sacrifice/death penalty for the sins of the world John 3:16 The burial: Christ laid in a new, borrowed tomb, sealed with guards The resurrection: Christ's victory over death, hence the borrowed tomb, on the third day He arose from the dead being seen by many, up to 500 witnesses on one occasion Trusting Him: for salvation, accepting His death as payment for sin Living in faith: believing the promises of God bestowed upon all Christians, The rest of the Christian walk relies on trust and faith...and wanting to please our Heavenly Father by doing His will...as Christ said 'not my will but thine be done' Amen!
