One God, Many Paths

Thomas said:
The question is: if a Christian does not embrace (another faith), but lives in peace and harmony with (another faith), does it matter?

"You have heard that it has been said, ‘You shall love your neighbour and shall hate your enemy’ – Whereas I tell you, love your enemies and speak well of those who revile you, be benevolent to those who hate you and pray for those who abuse and persecute you; in this way you may become sons of your Father who is in the heavens, for he makes his sun to rise on the wicked and the good, and sends rain upon the just and the unjust. For if you love only those who love you, what recompense do you have? Do not even the tax-collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing that is extraordinary? Do not even the gentiles do the same? So be perfect, as your heavenly Father
is perfect." (Matthew 5:43-48)

The question rather is, can one embrace all, believer and non-believer, in the same light as Jesus in the oneness with the Father?

That is a good point and a great question.

Why has this not unfolded? What are people waiting for?

How do we fulfill the promise of one fold and one Shepherd and God's Name being One?

Why should we have one fold and one shepherd? Are we sheep? What is the problem with many Gods and Goddesses? The more the merrier. After all, they have always been conjured up.

The question really is that why embracing all is necessary? You do your thing, I do mine. What father, what oneness? My father was not Tony's father, nor Tony's father was mine.

Maybe something along the idea of overcoming the prejudices and indoctrinations, as you stated elsewhere.
