Re: Who is the Body of Christ and Who is the Churc
Sorry, but my stomach can only take so much Protestant-pseudo-theology for one month, and that level has been reached.
I already know what you're going to say. It's the same over and over and over and over and over.
That doesn't make it any more true.
Boring, boring.

Fine.

Re: Who is the Body of Christ and Who is the Churc
Thank you for understanding my reticence in this matter.
Re: Who is the Body of Christ and Who is the Churc
Being a member of the right club has nothing to do with salvation. God's people are everywhere, in every denomination, or not, and only He knows who they are.
It's stupid to think only Catholics will be in heaven, or only Anglicans, or only Hindus.....
What do you think Babylon in Revelation 18 refers to?
Verses 4 and 5:
And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.
The problem with quotes on the internet is that you can never be certain they're authentic.

I'm not sold that the RCC is the great Babylon.
But the Body is bigger than the RCC. And many "members" of the RCC (and other Christian denominations) are NOT part of the Body, the Church.

She should be able to tell.
Any attempt to reach out to you is rebuffed with the usual reply.

You just admitted that the RCC MAY be the [censored] of Babylon of Revelations who will lead the world astray in the Last Days.
Yup, I'm the close-minded, hard-to-reach one [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/lol.gif[/img]

You misquoted, which is what you've been doing a lot of lately.
That makes you a liar again, I'd say.

Re: Who is the Body of Christ and Who is the Churc
Just to clarify what I'm thinking.
To put words in another person's mouth would be lying. To misquote as above would be lying.
To change a quoted post to present sexual innuendo would be a lie, too.

Re: Who is the Body of Christ and Who is the Churc
For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from observing the law. (Rom 3:28)
And if by grace, then it is no longer by works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace. (Rom 11:6)
Is there a difference between works of faith and works of the law?

Barry, please, people are quite tired of the game.
Re: Who is the Body of Christ and Who is the Churc
Somebody else interested in discussing an honest question??

Re: Who is the Body of Christ and Who is the Churc
I believe the body of Christ is in us all, and the church... it's just a building.
Love like you've never been hurt
Sing like nobody's listening
Dance like nobody's watching
And Live Like it's Heaven on Earth
- Mark Twain
Re: Who is the Body of Christ and Who is the Churc
Good, now we can move on...
Re: Who is the Body of Christ and Who is the Churc
Agreement, eh??
