Hi,, my answer to this idea is No. My reason is this, not all churches or religions have the same doctrine, even though they are considered Christian.
The one church, one government rule,,, is a Big No No......
Sounds like the New World Order.....
1 Cor 12:12 The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ.
Eph 4:4-6 There is one body and one Spirit--just as you were called to one hope when you were called-- one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
Jn 15: 5-8 "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. 8This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.?
Rom 12:5 So in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
Eph 4:16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.
1 Cor 12:20-21 As it is, there are many parts, but one body. The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" And the head cannot say to the feet, "I don't need you!"
1 Cor 12:26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
1John 4:20 If anyone says ?I love God,? yet hates his brother, he is a liar.
Jn 13:34-35 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
1Cor 12:24-25 But God has combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, 25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other.
No. Too many practices and doctrines that conflict with each other and the bible. I think all churches should be like gospel libraries. Quite places where Christians could come and read about their religion as well as others and the step into a prayer room and commune with God in whatever manner they deem right. No one could see it so no one could criticize it. No one would have to worry about religious persecution and could test different religions out until they found the one that truly speaks to their soul.
It is the wish of Jesus Christ and the Apostles that the Church be one, united in faith.
In Ephesians 4:1-6, Paul writes: I, then, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to live in a manner worthy of the call you have received, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another through love, striving to preserve the unity of the spirit through the bond of peace: one body and one Spirit, as you were also called to the one hope of your call; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
There are certain things that Christians can do today to help restore this unity:
+ A permanent renewal of all Christians in greater fidelity to their vocation
+ Conversion of heart as the faithful try to live holier lives according to the Gospel
+ Prayer in common, because change of heart and holiness of life, along with public and private prayer for the unity of Christians, should be regarded as the soul of the whole ecumenical movement
+ Fraternal knowledge of each other
+ Ecumenical formation of the faithful and especially of priests
+ Dialogue among theologians and meetings among Christians of the different churches and communities
+ Collaboration among Christians in various areas of service to mankind.
Yes and there is work on formal union occurring. The Evangelical Lutheran Church is working toward formal union as are the Orthodox. Other groups, such as the Anglicans, are in dialogEUoward union.
