NASB | 2 Corinthians 11:4 For if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted, you bear this beautifully. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Corinthians 11:4 For [you seem willing to allow it] if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted. You tolerate all this beautifully [welcoming the deception]. |
Subject: Beware "Another" |
Bible Note: Hi HumbledbyHisgrace, I agree with you that we do well to focus people's attention on God, His Word, and the fellowship of the saints. When I look at "the faith", and "the faith of Jesus Christ" in the Bible, it seems to be referring to "the source and body of teaching, doctrine, and salvation" (comments welcome :-) ). With this view, to say "the faith of the Church" seems to be interposing the Church between me and Christ, as the source of teaching, doctrine, and salvation. Please see my post 156465 for addition information. I'm going to ask Benedict 16, and see if he, or his agent, might elaborate. Love in Christ, Mark |
