81 | Who constitutes the church? | Eph 4:3 | Immanuelsown | 206055 | ||
DocTrinsograce, I appreciate the input, I found the same type of verse, Matt.13:30 although your verses, and mine, make it sound like we, were sown into a field of Tares, instead of the other way around. However Eph. 4:11-16 Sounds more like a body that can be seen, powerful, vibrant the body isn't supposed to be invisible is it? Universal Church yes, in today's terms though, that only means Global. We as the Body of Christ are to be more than that, we are to be a light to a dark world. Luke 11:33, Matt. 5:14. We are to be in Unity as Christ, and the Father are. Jon. 17:21-23. The reason for all this, is so the Jews will be provoked to Jealousy, it's not all about us, being gathered from all the denominations of the world, it's how do we as the Body of Christ, become a witness to the Jews. Rom.10:19, Deut.32:21, Rom.11:11,12 How can this be accomplished, if we are Invisible. There isn't anything of the Church as it stands today, the Jews want any part of. They look at us as we are, Divided In Him Imm |

82 | Who constitutes the church? | Eph 4:3 | Immanuelsown | 206037 | ||
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.

83 | catholic and protestant salvation view | Eph 4:3 | Immanuelsown | 206032 | ||
I am new to the forum, I know these posts were made in "02" but there is scripture speaking to this matter. So I am posting now for people in "08" and beyond. Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in. There have been 1,000,000's of Jews in the last 2,000 yrs. that never had the chance for a Salvation of Faith. Based solely on the fact, they were Jews, and therefore blinded to the saving grace of God through Christ. Felt there should be mention of this fact. Puts the case forward for Predestination. Joe made a statement, that sounds like a contradiction of Predestination. 05/26/02 at 9:57pm "It is a matter of the WILL to believe, not the brainpower to do so". Puts the case backward for Predestination. total 1 for-1 against stalemate. |

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. |
