Bible Note: Hi Steve, Do you then think that the principles Jesus taught in this passage apply only to situations where church discipline is involved (binding and loosing, agreeing in prayer, His presence in small groups)? Would this be a "catch-all" for everything someone wants to do that is related to church discipline? Also, do you think that vs. 18 in particular applies to Christians in general, or specifically to the disciples? Love in Christ, Mark |
