Bible Note: Emmaus: You wrote: "I do not see the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the individual and in the Church as the Body of Christ as mutually exclusive. For me it is not a question of either or. I see it as both and." I don't see it as a question of "either-or," myself. My question is, since the church is made up of individuals who are justified before God, where is the church without the individuals in communion with one another? Perhaps I am not explaining my difficulty well, but you seem to be talking about "the Church" as if it were some entity that exists distinctly from the people of God ourselves. And what do you mean by a "dynamic role of the Church"? How can interpretation be dynamic (as if Scripture means different things at different times)? Thanks. --Joe! |
