Together, We Are One

The true ONENESS of God has been so misunderstood and taught so wrong, that the glorious beauty and pattern for us has been totally wiped out, except for the few who can ‘hear�?the true voice of God. This is truly a shame, for then people do not know what the real purpose and requirements are for us, from God. There is so much DIVISION among those who claim Christianity. And that is exactly OPPOSITE of what God demands from us. His requirements are that we be ONE as they are ONE.

Now let me ask you a question. How many CHURCHES are there? I am not speaking about how many buildings have been build by men and called churches. I am speaking about the one true Church of the Living God. How many are there? How many are truly ONE with each other? I am telling you this is a fault among all churches. Not one of them are exempt.

There are some who call the others the daughters of the whore. But I am telling you they are ALL daughters of the whore. Their ‘mama�?causes DIVISION. And they are just like her. Their ‘mama�?celebrates a false birthday on Dec 25, and calls it the birthday of Jesus. Are you guilty? If so, you are of your mama, Babylon. Mama celebrates egg hunts and calls it the resurrection of Jesus. Are you guilty? If so, you are a daughter of the whore. And many other such idolatrous things ‘mama�?whore does. All her daughters follow suit.

But today I am going to show you how DIVISION is a sinful trait of ‘mama�?Babylon. Let the Apostle Paul teach us today:

1Cor 3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. 3:2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. 3:3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? 3:4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?

Now let’s deal with those words for a bit. Paul is addressing a carnal church here. He called them babes in Christ. Why are they babes? He could only feed them milk, (the food of infants). They could eat no meat. They could not BEAR it. Why? Because they were carnal. What made them carnal? Division. Envying and strife. This is walking as men. So what was the evidence of this division and strife? They were SEPARATING these ministers of God. They were seeing them as INDIVIDUALS and not as ONE. They had caused a schism in the body of Christ, by this division.

What is the evidence or fruit of this division? Verse four--- I am of Paul. I am of Apollos. So they separated Paul and Apollos and saw them as individuals and not as ONE.

1Cor 3:5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? 1co 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

1co 3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. 1co 3:8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. 1co 3:9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.

Now there is a great mystery revealed here and a glorious truth, which man-made ‘churches�?have completely missed and destroyed. Paul asks who are we? We are just ministers by whom ye believed. Then he showed what type of ministry he had = planting. Then he showed what type of ministry Apollos had = watering. Then he says but neither of us are anything, but God which gives the increase. He takes no glory for himself or Apollos. But take careful note of verse eight. He that planteth (Paul) and he that watereth (Apollos) are ONE. Now there is the problem explained.

This church had been separating these men of God and seeing them as individuals, instead of the ONENESS which God had brought them into. In their minds they saw Paul as some kind of great man of God.

Others saw that Apollos was the best one. So they said, I am following Paul. Others said I am following Apollos. Now neither Paul nor Apollos took pride in this nor let it stand. They are rebuking this error right here. They are not seeking glory for themselves. They are seeking to get these babes in Christ to grow up in understanding and stop DIVIDING the body of Christ.

But then Paul makes it clear that at the judgment each of us will receive our own reward for our own labour in the Lord. So what you do as in individual in the work of God, God will reward you and you only for this work.

But we are NOT to see ourselves or others as individuals. We are to see all of the members of Christ as ONE. How many individuals are included in this ONENESS? Only God knows that. But we are told that it is MANY. MANY ARE ONE, as God and his kingdom are.

What is the unity? Verse nine--we are laborers TOGETHER. Together as ONE, this is the way of God and the image of God. A single individual is NOT the image of Christ or God. It takes a whole kingdom, working together. Now Paul has laid this out for us so we can see exactly how the entire kingdom of God is and how the Church is supposed to be and act, in their image, united as ONE. We are to see each other as all ONE.

We are to see each other as members of the ONE BODY. We are to have the same care one for another and to love our neighbor as our self. Else you are not in the ONENESS of God. You are not in the image of God or Christ. Now I want to ask you all. Search your own hearts for truth. How many of you can truthfully say that you see Christianity or the Church in this light? I can truthfully say I have never yet seen one church operating in this Spirit of ONENESS.

1Cor 3:10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 1co 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ

Paul said we are a building of God. He shows here that we are ALL to be working to build this building. We are to keep down strife and divisions. We are not to lift one above another or see one church as different from some other church. (Now I am not speaking of false brethren in this matter.)

Paul is clearly showing that he did one part of this building, laid the foundation. But he shows that others build on this foundation, and their work is just as important as Paul’s was. We are not to try to undo what another man did in his work for God. We are not to try to undermine this and say, He is not important for he did only this. We are not to say this minister over here is better than that one over there.

If you do this, then you are causing divisions in the body of Christ. You are looking at them as individuals, and not as the ONE UNITE WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE. And why ONE UNITE? For this is the image of the God Kingdom. Paul said that he and Apollos are ONE. We must see them this way. We are not to divide them as individuals. We cause a schism, or split in the body when we do this. 1Cor 3:21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; 1co 3:22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;

1co 3:23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

Now Paul ends this chapter with those words. Do not glory in men. We are to glory in the ONENESS of this body of Christ. Esteem each as our own selves. See them all alike. Do not lift one above another. We are Christ’s (means we belong to Him) and Christ is God’s (means he belongs to God).

So, I ask again, how many churches are there? Do you know of even one with this ONENESS attitude? I do not. The ‘pastors�?teach them that they have a duty to be at their own church every time they have a meeting. I have heard them warn people not to even come to their church on Sunday, for they are supposed to be at their own church. I have known pastors who threatened their members and told them they could not be active in the church if they went elsewhere. Is this a true ONENESS? Is this working TOGETHER for the same purpose? Of course not. It is DIVISION and STRIFE and seeking self-glory.

It is anything BUT true Christianity. If all the churches, (and I mean of the very same denomination or beliefs) had an understanding and felt this ONENESS, why would they think you cannot go to any of them and still be worshipping God and fellowshipping the body of Christ?

It proves they are not in a ONENESS as is the God kingdom. And how could they be when they have never heard the truth about the ONENESS of God? All they have ever heard taught is that God is just 1 person, or that he is 3 persons. So then how could it be a true ONENESS, each esteeming others as themselves? How could they feel love and working together as a team for a common goal?

Perhaps this is why they see God as a divided or ‘lone�?being. They think of Christians as individuals, and not a unite of love. So they think this is how God is = just 1. How then could there be any ONENESS or unity? Did the early church have this ONENESS? Let’s examine it and see.

Ac 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

That started it. They were ALL with ONE accord (or mind) and in ONE place.

Ac 2:44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common; Ac 2:45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.

Ac 2:46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,

All of these believers were TOGETHER and had all things COMMON. They continued DAILY with ONE accord.

Ac 4:32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.

This is exactly why Jesus said to God, his Father, mine are thine, and thine are mine. See, they showed right here that spirit of ONENESS, or sharing. You are in me and I am in you. Love. That is what this was. We are not seeing ourselves as individuals; we are seeing ourselves as ONE.

A true family does not say this is mine and that is yours. They share together. That is if they have love and unity. Selfishness is not a unity. Self-centeredness is not of God. Jesus and God did not heave this attitude with each other. Neither are theys just 1 person, and that explains their ‘oneness�?

No. That is not the way God’s word teaches it. That is the way carnal babes teach it and believe it. You who are trying to separate this true oneness and say it is only because there is just 1 person in all of eternity, that is God, then you are carnal babes, trying to break up the oneness of God and bring his kingdom down to the carnal level of the carnal church or individual.

Now you who are separating God, explain this. All of this MULTITUDE were of ONE HEART AND ONE SOUL. How were they all, a multitude, one soul?

Ac 19:34 But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. Now there again, a multitude is said to have had ONE voice. It showed a complete UNITY.

You must learn to see the difference when this word is used as a numeral and when it is used to show this perfect love and unity. Else you will always be babes, dividing the ONE Body of Christ and trying to divide the God Kingdom to suit some carnal understanding, which is not of God.

Eph 4:3 - Endeavouring to keep the UNITY of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Eph 4:13-Till we all come in the UNITY of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

Notice, this said until we ALL come unto A (one) perfect MAN.

YE ARE ALL ONE. How many is that?

Let me ask you all something. How many of you keep X-MASS?

If you do, please show me where any APOSTLE did this, taught it or even recommended it.

Are you REALLY teaching and believing what the true Apostles taught?

Did they keep egg hunts? or sunrise services? or trick--- or trunk-a-treet?

Are any of these things of the true God? Or maybe they are of Satan? If God did not command it of us, it IS OF SATAN.

Whose daughters are you?
