Bible Note: I think what his problem (and mine) is has to do with what "the heart of the church" consists of. The church is made up of all individual human beings who are justified by God's grace alone, though faith alone in Christ alone. The Holy Spirit indwells all who are justified, and gathers them in various places as His church. So, by speaking of the heart of the church, do you mean that He works through His people to properly explain and interpret Scripture? If so, then I would agree. If that is not what you mean, then please be more clear by what you mean by "heart of the church." --Joe! |
