truth
However, if our enemy can get us focused away from that truth, THE TRUTH, and on to his very elaborate "everything else" (anything else),
he knows that eventually we will at the very least be willing to downgrade the importance of our oneness, our very identity.
He then knows that we are sat down at his table, with our eyes unintentionally off of the solid and secure truth of our spiritual oneness, and we are now for all intense and purposes
inadvertently ready to converse with him about our unity,
us, the whole and complete, ("finished") Body of God,
he's got a nerve.
He is then able, and glad to bring us the most comprehensive menu of his 'reasons',
or paths that appear to legitimize our own disunity.
Poisonous spiritual pills that taste bad,
but with our eyes on his back drop, we somehow can stomach it,
(resign ourselves to our loss of belief in our oneness).
Have you ever stopped and really noticed, just how many of those 'paths' there are out there in the world, masquerading as good reasons for us to accept our own disunity?
(like a 'mountain')
A huge menu of pathways, ALL leading away from the same place, the place where we once began.
Most of his menu of reasons or pills, we have no interest in,
we don't have an opinion on 'grace' v 'hyper grace',
woman leaders, or gay bishops perhaps,
but he only needs us to choose and swallow one pill each,
for his menu to be fit for purpose.
We can be sure that he has an individual one especially designed to appeal to each one of us,
that equates to exactly the same end result.
He doesn't need us to accept two reasons,
one is sufficient, any one.
Doctrinal interpretation is an obvious one, but there
are an endless supply of others.
Insecurity, ambition, pride and fear are all avenues
that funnel us down paths that lead, or
tempt us to the same place.
Imagine these as primary colours or paths,
but there is a breath-taking spectrum like a rainbow of every
colour available to him.
It's like wherever we look,
'paths' are ALL we can see, our choice it appears,
is not whether to choose, but rather which one.
But that is the lie right there.
He has an endless supply for us to choose from,
he will without doubt, find us one 'reason' or path,
that we will accept, but feels least uncomfortable.
I'm not talking about a 'reason or road' that is causing disunity, I'm talking about a 'reason or road' that is taking our eyes off of the spiritual fact, that we are ONE in the Spirit,
there is a huge difference.
Like being on the peak of the highest snow capped mountain,
we'd like to stay there with the view, but our enemy wants
us down, and he is not bothered which route we take,
as long as we do set off in a direction,
ANY DIRECTION will do.
ALL routes head downwards and away
from our belief in the truth of our oneness.
Once he has captured our belief,
he knows what our response and actions will be,
we will simply follow on autopilot the carnal course down,
which is mapped out clearly for us on our back-drop.
One path we hear about very often involving ambitious leaders, is the route down called and camouflaged as,
an amicable separation in the name of (ironically)
"we're parting ways to move onwards and upwards to serve
our God more effectively"....
I heard that one recently from a leader in my own congregation, and now he's setting up a church half a mile down the road,
and he's even taken vulnerable members with him.
We can only guess what was being whispered in his ear,
but we know for sure who was doing the whispering, and no doubt he is oblivious to the discouragement he has plastered all over the walls of many peoples 'back-drops'.
How this downward move is interpreted by some 'leaders' as onwards and upwards, is beyond me.

We know it happens a lot, and although the 'reasons, paths and excuses all appear unique, we see at a closer examination
that they are all heading out in the same direction,
away from the truth.
T
The trajectory down is perceived as disunity,
propelling the whole illusion.
