It is an impossible task for anyone to do in their own strength. Because there is a fine line between political maneuvering and real healing. Thats why the section starts off with the importance of the doctrinal focus. I mean if we just dealt with each other in a way of site, or listening, or having a feeling of things then it would not be a holistic definition of unity. There are some very simple things. One is a persons understanding of the doctrines. Are these doctrines alive in the people. That is a matter of how they communicate about these things. It is not the same in everyone because everyone is not able to articulate these things but you can get to the bottom of what they trust in as knowing and seeing how much time they invest in seeking these things. "Those who seek me will find Me"

Its just like marriage. If you live with a person for any length of time you can see because you are there 24 hrs. So you know what they value. You watch them pursue knowledge ... pursue wisdom.. pursue relationships... you know them. A person can be the most giving person in the world. They can extend their hand to the poor. They can teach children. They can do all the good works that we think a person should be doing and still be as spiritually blind as a mass murderer. Although they should get their rewards in this life. But it is all political. This is why it is so difficult to be in this spiritual leadership. Cause in this kind of society the people who look the most righteous may be the people who are the actors.
This society is made up of people who are totally opposite of other people. In christian community there is no such thing as psychological profiles. There are the saints and the aints.That means the saints have it better than they could ever imagine and the aints have it worse than they ever imagine. But what we have here is an appearance of righteousness. Its is made up of the most subversive spirits. We have everyone confessing and acknowledging. But not everyone is in the thing like it looks. Those who are in dont always look like they are in and those who are out hardly ever look like they are out. So that if we are not wise we may be encouraging those who are out to continue to be out by their appearance.
