Truth Hiders and Hoarders

Some misunderstandings resulted from my last writings so I will attempt this week to clarify the part about the disunity among Christians. I truly believe this is caused by a super excess of ministers of the gospel, who prosper materially as a result of Christian disunity - the more disunity, the more ministers, associate ministers, ad infinitum, required - simple matter of financial mathematics.
Allow your imagination to run wild, if you will, and conjure up in your mind the Apostle Paul sitting at his desk writing an epistle to the "churches at Whereville" stating his intentions to visit us. Imagine, also, that he repeated Chap.16:1-2 of his first letter to the Corinthians: "Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye, (2) Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come."
Now I can say for a certainty that God has only one church, and that He is not the author of confusion, and that He hates disunity among His children, and that Paul had no IBM copier to make extra copies for each church in Whereville. Which brings these questions to my mind: (1) To which church facility address will Paul have the postman deliver his epistle here in Whereville? (2) When Paul comes to visit our city, at what church facility will he pick up the collection we have laid in store for the saints?
