Jesus prayed, "Holy Father, protect them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one, as we are one." John 17:11
Therefore, We please God when we embrace the diversity found among God's children.
What are your thoughts, perspectives about this?

I'm all for it. It seems to me that everyone on this earth should get along; we're all mostly good people, and even if we don't agree on who our God is, who our saviour is, can't we agree that we are one? I like that quote, it's one of my favorite's from John. So, my thoughts... Well, let me put it like this.
A lot of us are different from one another, seperate. But, if we can all work together, you find that we're really not actually all that different, you know? And maybe it's a coincidence and maybe it isn't, but, I think it's a sign that if nothing else, we're meant to be together, you know? And why not try to be as one, when there's so much to be done in the world, and you think, that regardless of the saviour you pray to... Wouldn't He want that? Just my two cents.

Which Jesus? The Mormon Jesus is a different Jesus. The Jehovah Witness is a different Jesus. The Islam Jesus is not Jesus at all.
My Jesus was God made flesh who died and rose on the third day according to all the Law and the prophets. Show me someone who adheres to THAT Jesus and we are instantly one in fellowship.

Well then why did God have his "chosen people?"
You're right in saying we should embrace diversity, and I do believe we are all connected by an energy that we have yet to define.

I think that the true Church of Jesus Christ universal does embrace each other in spite of our peripheral differences.

So wouldn't it be lovely if all the Christians on here could follow that, instead of the nasty, bitter hatred of some for anyone who does not choose to believe what they have chosen to believe.

We are all one if we are true believers in the Living God... if there are those that don't believe,........ then the answer is no we shall not all be in ONE spirit.
