Clarington great importance, and shows that the questioner is interested in learning what God has to say concerning the oneness of the church. Now just as surely as the Bible says that there is but one true God, it also says that there is but one church. My friend, if you will read the first seven verses of the fourth chapter of the Ephes-ians letter, you will find that in the same sense that the Bible speaks of one God, and one Lord, it also speaks of one body; now go to the first chapter of the Ephesians letter and you will find that this one body has already been identified as the church (Eph. The Bible goes further and says that both Jew and Gentile should be members of the same body (church) Eph. 3:6.

This clearly shows that the Jews and Gentiles could not continue as two separate religious bodies and still be pleasing in the sight of God. There are at least nine direct references made of the one body (church). Read them: Rom. I Cor. I Cor.

12: Eph. Col. Col. Jesus prayed for the unity of his disciples, and the unity that he wanted to exist among his disciples was the same that then and now exists between God and Christ, John If this prayer is ever answered there cannot exist a single point of doctrinal difference between any two religious bodies. Then through the apostle Paul, Christ commanded that there be no division in the church, I Cor.

12:25. This shows that Christ wanted the one church to continue on down the ages; and this could be done only by continuing to teach the one doctrine that produced this one church, Gal. 1: 8-9; Rev. The Bible speaks of the church as the bride of Christ; shall we brand Christ as a bigamist by saying that he is the husband of all the many churches that have come into existence since the true church had its beginning?
