Bible Note: Hello EdB; I've been following this thread for some time now with great interest. If we go to the book of Revelation I think we can see the answer there. In the 2nd and 3rd chapters the seven (complete church) church are been addressed by Jesus. They all have their own 1. name 2. praise from Christ 3. rebuke from Christ 4. exhortation from Christ 5. promise from Christ etc. They are all different but all part of the body but of the two things I would like to point out that thaey have in common is 1. They all were given a revelation of Christ. not the complete one found in chapter one just what pertained to their own situation. We are no different. None of us have a complete picture of Christ. The Holy Spirit has given each of us enough revelation, understanding etc. of Christ that we need for our situation. But 2. Each of the addresses to the churches contian the phrase "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches" I have ears so this pertains to me. The churches is plural I need to hear what the Spirit says to other churches not just mine. Does this mean that I should adopt their views? I dont think so but in order to get a clearer picture of who Jesus is I need to see and accept (as long as it does not contradict the basic foundations of our faith as found in the scriptures) the revelation they have received by the Spirit of Christ. It will be different than what I received. If we are to believe that the Holy Spirit was given to guide us into all the truth we must believe that he is able to give Different but complementary revelations of Christ to us so that inorder for us to have a complete view of Christ we have to come together to compare notes you might say. |
