About this listen

Doctrinal deviation, degeneration, and denigration is a perilous path leading not to genuine unity of the Spirit, as posited by its propagators, but rather disunity with the Spirit, apostasy, perdition, and ultimately hell itself!

An oft recited slogan in some segments of the church over the last few decades is: "We must agree to disagree without being disagreeable." In itself, the import of that pun has some merit. Even among the most sincerely congenial colleagues and cohorts, perfect and perpetual agreement is an unrealistic and impossible expectation. Indeed, disagreement is inevitable, but it need not be fraught with divisiveness or produce disharmony. Though it may seem a contradiction, dissonance among reasoned individuals, especially those walking by the Spirit, need not produce disharmony. While unanimity in human interrelations is desirable, when it is not present, the destructiveness and alienation of animus must not be allowed to ferment.

Disagreements are much better addressed and hopefully resolved in an amicable rather than antagonistic atmosphere. Nevertheless, the church must never yield to the temptation to deviate from established essential doctrines or compromise proper principles in order to "keep the peace," or to "go along to get along." Yet, that is precisely what some have taken this slogan concerning disagreement to mean. A dangerous trend has developed in many segments of the church toward what they say is "unity" but which really amounts to a "truce" by definition, predicated on doctrinal compromise. Though they may attribute to it the term of "unity," it differs little, if at all, from the syncretism-based that numerous Christian denominations, in alliance with the Roman Catholic Church, have been forging for decades. Universal alliance in the end will comprise the end-time one-world Babylonian Church signified in eschatological Scripture.
