Son of Truth in Contemplations of "The Church"
Truth of Self contemplations regarding "the church".

This "division" is the antithesis of the unity that IMO is possibly the leading characteristic of the truth of what "the church"[2] is.
Ephesians 4:13 -
"... until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
Colossians 3:13-14 -
13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
John 17:23 -
23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
Psalm 133:1 -
1 How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!
Ephesians 4:3 -
3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.

March 1, 2018 - Incorporation -
"The Church" (AKA Body of Christ) is not an incorporated legal yet fictitious entity. An incorporated church is an oxymoron. The head of the Church is Christ and not government, agency or any external authority regardless of what any written "law" may say. As has been declared a number of times previously in this blog - government has a limited proprietary jurisdiction meaning if government doesn't own it there is no grounds for jurisdiction. Incorporation is a privilege extended by government and thus regulated by government however the Body of Christ does not need any external government granted privileges.

[2] The English term "church" is possibly not the best translation of the original greek word. The reason being on account of all the deep conditioning elements that are imbued in "the church word" which is an additional antithesis to the quintessential spirit that originally began incarnating as "the body of Christ" on Earth nearly 2,000 years ago. We need new languages of divine light to illuminate our thinking here. The new does not come from the old. The old cannot hold the new. As it is written:
"Neither do men put new wine into old wineskins, else the wineskins burst and the wine runneth out and the skins perish. But they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.” - Matthew 9:17
