To Be Least

      TallSkinnyKiwi had a post addressing the "Churchless Christians." I felt I had to put in my input and I did so.

First, the church is a body (as I will show later). This body must be made of Christians.

²³For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. (Eph. 5:23)

Christians need to congregate in some form.

²⁵Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another--and all the more as you see the Day approaching. (Hebrews 10)

The church is meant to be a body.

¹²The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ. (1 Cor. 12)

²⁷Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. ²⁸And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, also those having gifts of healing, those able to help others, those with gifts of administration, and those speaking in different kinds of tongues. (1 Cor. 12)

These verse are clear, we as Christians, are to form a body. This body can be a huge church, and it can also be a small group in a living room. However, we can not be seperated, scattered and churchless. Why?

Because you can not function as a body with your members scattered across the country.

God bless.

      I was very simply and straight forward, but I think I made some sense. Anyhow I have to go.
