Religionists should unite on common ideals and goals, not theological beliefs, in order to create spiritual unity. [1]
Unity in spiritual fellowship among believers is essential for the true church, not uniformity enforced by doctrinal finality or sectarian superiority. [2] Only by appeal to Adjuster can mankind attain true spiritual unity and brotherhood, despite individual differences in body and mind. [3]
Only through the religion of spirit can human unity and mortal brotherhood be achieved, transcending the differences in racial viewpoints and uniting all mankind under the same divine and eternal spirit. [4]
Jesus sought to discredit the systems of teaching and practice of the Pharisees and Sadducees, as it represented the inevitable clash between the religion of the spirit and that of authority. [5]
Woe upon you scribes, Pharisees, hypocrites, who reject truth and spurn mercy, for you are blind to the weightier matters of the law, and refuse to enter the kingdom, yet hinder others through your hypocrisy and dishonesty. [6]
The early believers' separation from unbelievers led to the formal organization of the Christian church in Jerusalem, with Stephen becoming its first martyr. [7]
We have persistently sought peace, but by rejecting the truth of God and aligning themselves with error and darkness, the leaders of Israel have made peace impossible between light and darkness, truth and error. [8] It is time for all faithful believers to openly break with the religious rulers in Jerusalem, as Jesus did to challenge the Sanhedrin and Pharisees. [9]
The unity of spiritual experience stems from the unique interpretation of God fragments dwelling within individual souls, leading to diverse perspectives on religion among humanity. [10]
Each apostolic teacher offered their unique perspective on the gospel, with Simon Peter and James Zebedee being the most influential in shaping the theology of the school of evangelists. [11] Spiritual unity, the fruit of faith union with the living Jesus, is the key to unifying Christianity and overcoming division. [12]
Lack of spiritual brotherhood is both inexcusable and results from failure to discern the divine oneness in the manifold teachings of Jesus, causing division among believers. [13] The omnipresence of the Eternal Son constitutes the spiritual unity of creation. [14] Pentecost was the call to spiritual unity among gospel believers worldwide. [15]
