Carlos31,
Please check out the sources that you are using for your Edification. I will give some Scriptures
that refute your statements as unscriptural: As Ray has stated, the unity is already here: Christ
in us, we in Him and Him (Christ) In The Father. All the other groups and religions are trying to
create another (new) unity built on sand and lies. So what part light with darkness. 
II Corinthians 6:14:
Be not getting diversely yoked with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and
lawlessness? Or what fellowship hath light with darkness?
1st Corinthians: 10 15-23
15-As, to prudent men, I speak,—judge, ye, what I say:—
16-The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not, a sharing together of the blood of the Christ?
The loaf which we break, is it not, a sharing together of the body of the Christ?
17-Because, one loaf, one body, we, the many, are, for we, all, of the one loaf, partake.
18-Be looking at Israel after the flesh:—are not, they who eat the sacrifices, joint partakers with the altar?
19-What, then, am I saying?—that, an idol-sacrifice, is anything? or that, an idol, is anything?
20-On the contrary—that, the things which the nations sacrifice, unto demons, and not unto God,
they sacrifice; and I wish not that ye should become, sharers together with the demons!
21-Ye cannot be drinking—a cup of the Lord, and a cup of demons; ye cannot be partaking of, a table
of the Lord, and a table of demons.
22-Or are we to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we mightier than he?
23-All things are allowable—but, not all things, are profitable,—all things are allowable—but, not all things, upbuild.

Saved By Grace Thru Faith
[By Divine influence upon our HEARTS]
This is a part of my on going attempt to show you how everything is interrelated in the scriptures. Everything comes down to one main objective - one main purpose - one thing, remember I’ve said that so often, it’s all ONE. You study out any subject in the scripture and it all comes down to one thing…. it’s all ONE.
Jesus Christ was an individual and He did all these many many things and He has a Father and He has done all these wonderful things. Yet He says, “I and My Father are ONE.” (John 10:30) And I have said everything is ONE.
Eph 4:1 I therefore the prisoner in the Lord, beseech you to walk worthily of the vocation wherewith you were called,
v. 2 with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
v. 3 Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
You know what unity means - unity means it’s all together, that’s what unity is, all together in one. One purpose - one cause - one whatever, it’s unified.
These churches of the world are out to create a unity between them. I mean they would even try to create a unity between the Moslems and the Christians. Give me a break, what fellowship has light with darkness, or what fellowship has darkness with darkness, how about that. The unity already exist, we don’t create a new unity. “Keep the unity of the Spirit,” there already is that unity. We are encouraged to keep it, not create it, it’s already there.
Eph 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as also ye were called in one hope of your calling;
v. 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
v. 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in you all.
It’s all ONE!
So today I’m going to talk especially about - saved by grace thru faith.
Excerpt from Unequally yoked by L. Ray Smith
http://bible-truths.com/yoked.htmFirst, let's read the entire Scripture:
"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, says the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive, and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty" (II Cor. 6:14-18).
The phrase "unequally yoked together" is the translation of just one Greek word, heterozugeo, which is a compound word that means, "to yoke up differently; to associate discordantly; unequally yoke together." It is used but this one time in the Bible.
The word "yoke" means a coupling as when two oxen are coupled or yoked together by a pulling beam to do work such as plowing a field or pulling a wagon.
And so Paul is telling the Corinthians congregation which was steeped in paganism and their cities peppered with pagan temples, that they should not be "unequally" yoked with those that practiced paganism or any works of darkness. They were to avoid: "unbelievers, unrighteousness, darkness, Belial, infidels, and idols." There it is. That's the list Paul gave them, exactly as we read above. Nothing is mentioned about marriage, but it does apply to marriage.
Sorry this is so long, but we do have a problem of mixing totally unscriptural (man's wisdom)
with the (Spiritual things of God).george.
well marques I never said to learn from evil.
I said that when you talk to a person, let it be christian, muslim or atheist, YOU CAN ALWAYS learn something good.
keep the good, throw away the bad.
You can at least learn from their humbleness or their character, not all christians have better character than atheist, think about it.
if all your friends think exactly like you, you are a liar.
