What Does it mean to be One Church?

There is a lot of talk these days about the churches coming together and the great outpouring of the faithful in the end times. But what does all of that really mean? Jesus Christ Himself prayed that we would be one church didn't he? So what does one church constitute? How is it possible for Christian denominations to come together as one church when there are so many different doctrines being taught from the same holy scriptures?

If learned mankind cannot read the same words and agree on their meaning, how is it possible for this learned mankind to ever pull off any defense of the Christian Church as one against the evil that is trying to overtake this world. The church was established by Jesus Christ, Jesus gave authority to the church as we have seen in Matthew 18:18, the church taught us the manner in which we were to come to God in worship and now the many denominations choose to deny the authority of the church and base their way on their own authority which they claim they have received from Holy Scripture, This is impossible, the scriptures themselves say that there is only one authority under Jesus Christ and that is His church leaders as has been established by the hands on ordaining of Bishops from the beginning and the seven ecumenical church councils that established church oneness.

If you are not abiding by these councils then you are walking on a very dangerous path of pride, false teaching, misleading your congregation and allowing sin to grow at a very rapid rate. All of these things you will answer for as a Pastor or leader in the denomination in which you serve.

I have swallowed my own pride and took up my cross and followed Jesus Christ through the church established by Jesus and the Apostles and written in the seven ecumenical councils which govern the church.

What are you willing to do for Jesus Christ to stop the run of Satan on your descendents, will your grandchildren be safe from extremists because you swallowed your pride and became one with the church or will you continue on with your protesting of the one church and stand alone hoping to defeat Satan with your pride? What will you do?

This is your health, January 2008.

This assessment tool below is from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute along with all of the links that were on that page. Check it out for your healths sake.

	Risk Assessment Tool for Estimating Your 10-year Risk of Having a Heart Attack The risk assessment tool below uses information from the Framingham Heart Study to predict a person’s chance of having a heart attack in the next 10 years. This tool is designed for adults aged 20 and older who do not have heart disease or diabetes. To find your risk score, enter your information in the calculator below. Age: years Gender: Female Male Total Cholesterol: mg/dL HDL Cholesterol: mg/dL Smoker: No Yes Systolic Blood Pressure: mm/Hg Are you currently on any medication to treat high blood pressure. No Yes Total cholesterol - Total cholesterol is the sum of all the cholesterol in your blood. The higher your total cholesterol, the greater your risk for heart disease. Here are the total values that matter to you: Less than 200 mg/dL 'Desirable' level that puts you at lower risk for heart disease. A cholesterol level of 200 mg/dL or greater increases your risk. 200 to 239 mg/dL 'Borderline-high.' 240 mg/dL and above 'High' blood cholesterol. A person with this level has more than twice the risk of heart disease compared to someone whose cholesterol is below 200 mg/dL. HDL cholesterol - High density lipoproteins (HDL) is the 'good' cholesterol. HDL carry cholesterol in the blood from other parts of the body back to the liver, which leads to its removal from the body. So HDL help keep cholesterol from building up in the walls of the arteries. Here are the HDL-Cholesterol Levels that matter to you: Less than 40 mg/dL A major risk factor for heart disease 40 to 59 mg/dL The higher your HDL, the better 60 mg/dL and above An HDL of 60 mg/dL and above is considered protective against heart disease. Smoker - Select “yes” if you have smoked any cigarettes in the past month. Systolic blood pressure - Systolic blood pressure is the first number of your blood pressure reading. For example, if your reading is 120/80 (120 over 80), your systolic blood pressure is 120.
