1 | Who constitutes the church? | Eph 4:3 | Immanuelsown | 206003 | ||
Who constitutes the church? Body of Christ? With all of the different churches, religions, denominations. How do we know which one is right? Eph.(4:1-6) Because there is one body, and one Spirit. So I guess my question is, with all the divisions what religion, denomination is the body. |

immanuelsown, Welcome to the forum. Denominationalism has been an age old debate and remains so today in some circles. There is no one denomination to define the body.(ecclesia) Church when we speak 0of God's church consists of all born again believers in Jesus Christ. You've chosen a good passage of scripture in dealing with this. Perhaps a simple word study on the word one will help to give some more understanding for you. Take a good look at 1 Corinthians 12 where Paul talks about the church. (Many members but one body.) In Him, lionheart |

Lionheart, Thank you for your answer, (1Cor.12) Is more about how the body is to function, and about the gifts of the Spirit. Jesus said, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: (Matt.12:25). We are divided, and have been for along time. According to what Jesus said in this verse, WE, all of the Denominations, are doomed to failure, desolation. Knowing this, why do the denominations refuse to fellowship together. Why is there no one denomination to define the body? My question was: "Who constitutes the church? Body of Christ? With all of the different churches, religions, denominations". I asked it the way I did because, that's all we know. Every Denomination, Espouses the Truth, but it is the Truth as they see it to be. It really Hurts, Greaves my spirit, to see the divisions MAN has created. They weren't created out of Love for the Brethren, they came about mostly because of Pride. Sorry to get on the soapbox.

Immanuelsown, 2 Pt 1:20,21 2 Tim 2:15, 3:16,17 1 Tim 4:16. My friend we have the truth right at our fingertips. We have to decide that we are willing to set aside our preconcieved ideas and sentimentalities and allow God's Word to speak. It's doable, God has given us the tools we need. In Him, lionheart |
