The church is actually the called out ones from this world. Whenever the bible mentions forefathers it is usually in a negative light...as in the sins of your fathers. But in every generation God calls a people out of the world's clutches and brings them to Zion.

You said it....the human institutions are of this world. They follow the world.

What comes out of the bowels of every movement brings elimination of what was once ingested. This is very human!

Those places of abiding are for right now!!!! Jesus doesn't say...one day you will abide in Me and I in you! He says we should abide NOW! So the abodes are awaiting those with faith and surrender at this very moment in Zion...in the heavenlies.

Yeah, the Inquisition was small potatoes....

The way to life is narrow and few find it. Christianity has never been a numbers game. Jesus rejected the masses who sought to make Him a king. Jesus Christ does not receive glory from men.

I don't see anyone protesting the renewal of empty Catholic steeple buildings into condominiums, boutiques, and libraries. ;) I represent a growing number of Christians that are coming out of man guided religious institutions in order to follow the faith of Christ handed down to the apostles.

The "succession" (a term that does not apply to the church at all) of the church is not through an organization but through the Spirit. Men seek to replace the Spirit. But the Head of the church is always Christ. Succession is from a dead king to a living king. Jesus Christ is not dead...He...

The church of Jesus Christ cannot be represented by any form of human institution. If people choose a religious institution over the unity of the Spirit...well that speaks more about the people than the church that Jesus Christ is building.

Amen!

Many are called but few are chosen. Even Paul was concerned about making the cut. But most Christians today think higher of themselves than Paul. This has more to do with the present attitude of the many than the truth of the bible. Does Jesus spit the Laodicean church from His mouth...and...

Welcome from Quebec! :)

Eh +++ :)

It may have escaped the attention of some here that the OP is taken from the Arabic bible that is used by Christians in the Middle East. Or do people think that the Koran has books called Psalms Isaiah,,,etc ??? Very good!

Gentiles are grafted into Israel when they are born of the Spirit. In Christ there is no DNA that separates us from each other. :)
