, we must now examine how can the εκκλησια be all Christians all over the world. We are all not alssmbeed together, but rather alssmbeed in different locales. I think the so-called universal church doctrine has caused great confusion. Why did Paul say ye (not including himself) instead of we (including himself) in 1 Cor. 12:27? I think this question and your conversation here would be a good springboard into a local-only Vs. universal ecclesiology discussion.Blessings to you yours.

Hello Zion Friends,I ask for prayers for this ctnoury. We are facing new challenges and we will need cool heads and warm hearts in the days ahead. I do not intend to use this site as a political forum at all, I promise, but I deeply feel that we need to ask for God’s help now more than ever.
