It stands in direct juxtaposition to Zion IMHO. One heart and one mind. Mourn and comfort together. And so forth.

So when did you become a proof texter? You rely solely upon your unique interpretation of the scriptures?

It's part of studying it out in my mind, before I take it to somebody else. I interpret the provisions of being of one heart to have a common purpose in serving God and man, but that doesn't mean our hearts must share all anguish.
