Good. There is only one body.
Peace to you.

Jesus prayed that we would all be one in Him.
However, this is a prayer to truly follow Him. It is not to be confused with universalism, the idea that all religions are equal and the same. Those with this confusion often seek to water down religion and/or turn it into a matter of worldly affairs. That is why many give ecumenism a bad rap.
To the extent that ecumenical dialogue promotes peace, understanding, and opens the way to conversion, it should be encouraged.

There is already unity between true Christians.
What ecumenicalism is is government sponsored rounding up of the sheeple to merge them all together into the one world religion.

Nobody wants a bad breath. You definitely do not want that bad breath. It is no fun to be remembered as someone with a bad halitosis. People do not like being in the company of someone like that because it can really be disappointing and undesirable. Thus, for someone suffering from this problem, learning how to cure your bad breath is a must.

Salvation is a gift from YHVH. It is a marriage contract. Take His name, and follow His rules. No compromising is allowed. "Christians" are disobedient, and will be lost.

If it takes anything away from the Gospel of Jesus Christ, it is bad.
