ok why argure r we not all part of the body of Christ are we not all brothers a sisters. Well look past your denominations rules anf regulations and realize that the only thing we should do it what the bible says! Dont Push away others learn from them and make the Christian Chruch stronger it dosent matter it u do all this and all that it matters that u have faith in Jesus Christ! Rituals icons the bible never speaks of them the bible says u are saved by faith and not by works. Follow Jesus Christ dont divied the Church over silly things. all that matters that u bring glory to God and u Bring glory to God by doing what he says and the bible is his word. And the most Glory u can bring to him is to spread the Gosple!

I accept the debate on this topic. I will attempt to sort through what was posted and address the real issue, "The Body of Christ."

It would appear that the op takes the stance of mystical body. That would make the resolve (right word?): "The body of Christ is a mystical body only with no earthly representation or confines with regards to leadership or structure."

Does this work for you openup4christ?

Peace.

hello open,

yes, its pretty sad all these different denominations. The most improatant thing in christinaty should be this fact: God came unto the earth, died for our sins, and rose from the dead and whoever believes in Jesus will be saved. Everything else is just minor.

galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

Its as simple as this, all who believe and are saved are part of the Body of Christ. Never is the discrimination of only one Denomination being of the Body of Christ is included in the bible.
