Sermonette: Church of God Ecumenism <\/p>\n

description: (hide) Richard Ritenbaugh, reflecting upon a Reformed LDS production Called to Be Free, allegedly showing the metamorphosis of the Worldwide Church of God from "cult" to "orthodoxy," concludes that the scattering of the greater church of God was deliberately engineered by Jesus Christ. Until the conditions that led to the scattering have changed, no unilateral ecumenical talks will ever be successful at attaining unity, but will lead to further frustration and futility. Ultimately, the lessons we learn from the scattering will strengthen the church. If we are in sync with Christ, we will be able to move in the direction He is going. We need to be flexible in our outlook and expectations, while steadfastly remaining doctrinaire in teaching and practice, patiently enduring until God unifies us in His own time. <\/p>\n
