Bible Question:
Who constitutes the church? Body of Christ? With all of the different churches, religions, denominations. How do we know which one is right? Eph.(4:1-6) Because there is one body, and one Spirit. So I guess my question is, with all the divisions what religion, denomination is the body. |
Bible Answer: immanuelsown, Welcome to the forum. Denominationalism has been an age old debate and remains so today in some circles. There is no one denomination to define the body.(ecclesia) Church when we speak 0of God's church consists of all born again believers in Jesus Christ. You've chosen a good passage of scripture in dealing with this. Perhaps a simple word study on the word one will help to give some more understanding for you. Take a good look at 1 Corinthians 12 where Paul talks about the church. (Many members but one body.) In Him, lionheart |
