John and doves,
When I was growing up, in my little Baptist church, And the discussion would turn to end times, there was always the discussion of the false ecumenical movement orchestrated by the Catholic church, which means the one church. We are seeing this happening in this day and age, and it is readily abundant that the whore of Babylon is gathering her children around her as we speak.
 
But whenever we as church discussed this ecumenical movement, there was also a discussion of the true church of Jesus, his Body, Uniting as One. It seems to me, that we as a church have lost this most important of end times doctrines. That being the promise of unity. Can Jesus come again, without his body Knit together as one? Is this concept being overlooked for fear of falling into error? Or have we become so proud and stubborn that we cannot admit the error in our own beliefs? True unity comes with Humility. That is why Paul said Jesus is the Head. No one of us is above the other in importance or duty. The Hand may be capable of healing or striking a blow, but it cannot do either if there is no heart to nourish it with life giving blood, or muscles in the arm to move the hand, let alone feet to take the whole body to where the patient is in need of healing.
 
If I may suggest, take the time to prayerfully read John 17, and Ephesians 4. Think about these words the next time you are ready to attack a brother in Christ who has a different view of end time eschatology than you do, yet believes in the same Jesus, and the same Gospel as taught in the Bible. Because when you attack them, you are only masochistically cutting your own Body, and the Body Of Christ Jesus who is the head. Yes there are parasites that want to belong to that Body, and are false. Yes, they are to be dealt with swiftly and sternly when we see them sucking the life giving blood from the church. But with other parts of the body, we are to heed their teachings, and their warnings, and not be so proud as to be unable to receive the Holy Spirit in them, for we all know in part, and prophecy in part,  but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. (1 Corinthians 13:9-10)
 
May God bless you all. Please read psalm 139, as within this psalm, is the right heart, and there is a beautiful rapture prophecy within it that is often overlooked. Notice the Mother's womb in particular.
