Bible Note: The Body of Christ is the Church, which means Assembly from the Greek Eklesia. How can one be in Christ and not be in the Assembly, which we are told not to forsake, for the obvious reason that we would be forsaking the Body of Christ? 1 Cor 12 is all about the parts of the Body of Christ. Is not the body together and connected? Can a family thrive or even survive as a real family if the husband and the wife and the children do not come together but are merely ships passing in the night or ships entering and leaving the port at different times? This seems so obvious even in the natural, let alone the examples in the scripture and the consatnt practice of the Church from the time of Jesus and his disciples. It is plain common sense, whether an explicit law or not. Where I come from it is also Church law. Emmaus |
