**+Veni, Sancte Spiritus!+

**We are all spinning away…spinning way far behind being united to the One who sits at the right hand of the Father. Individually we might be united to Him, but as a whole, we are not the same branches attached to this vine.

Christianity has become nothing more than Christians arguing over who understands Jesus the best. Over who interprets the Bible the best.

Some of us seem so comfortable with Christianity being divided because they hide behind this concept of “invisible unity”. As if Jesus is merely content that we all partially agree.

It pains the Sacred Heart of our Lord to see all our efforts having to be directed toward figuring out which one of us has “Christianity figured out” while we could be using that energy for what really matters and that is reaching out to those who do not believe in God and those who do not know Jesus.

Can anyone not see that our differences and dissensions are a cause of hostility toward one another. The evil one rejoices when he reads this forum. Though we should all rejoice because of our confidence that our God is using evil to bring about His Greater Good!

Unfortunately, evil has caused Jesus’ prayer that we all be one seem to go unanswered. It is unfortunate that this Non-Catholic forum is a necessity now in the current state of Christendom. Some of our efforts now, sadly, HAVE to be used to defend the Truth in this way.

Jesus, we are so sorry! We want to be one with You just as you are One with the Father! Please help us be so! Please grant us the graces necessary to believe the absolute truth, your absolute truth…to believe the Truth…who is You Jesus…help us to believe You, Lord! Please, we need you!!!
 
In your opinion, what are the specific points that are sufficient for Christians to agree upon to achieve unity? Is the real presence negotiable? How about infant baptism, the immaculate conception, ordination of women, ordination of homosexuals, number of books in the canon, invocation of saints, or the existence of purgatory?

I do not mean to be factitious, but only to point out that there are very serious, fundamental, as well as tangential variations in belief among those who call themselves, Christian. While I too long for unity, I am not willing to artificially construct it at the cost of error.

What specific points? All of them!

Maybe I expressed myself wrongly. I am saddened over division.
 
All these items are no different than the things we disagree with in everyday life. Some believe you should have sprinkle baptism, some emerged, some no baptism all different views. The bible explains that circumcision is nothing and un-circumcision is nothing. We have to keep an open hand to all of our theology, because all were doing is trying to define the Lords book.

Think about that for a second, man is trying to make sense out of The Lords book. We did understand the tree of knowledge, how we gonna figure this one out?

This is why it is better to work together knowing that our truth is not the ultimate truth

I needed that right now.

Thank you and God Bless.
 
The problem is that people are very passionate over religion and politics. I watched a political reported get e-mails by people, half were saying he favored the Dem. the other half said he favored the Rep. I have experienced the same thing, when I was Catholic I was told I was too protestant and now I’m a protestant I have been told I’m too Catholic. Go figure? That’s the problem we Christians have, people are too passionate beings!🤷
