Point to Ponder #1: Misuse of the word “Church”
Posted on 5/3/24 at 5:50 pm

Meaning of Church as known for 1054 years after Pentecost:
The visible and organic body of Christian believers, especially as accepting the ecumenical creeds of Christendom and as exhibiting a historic continuity of organized life.
When we ask why do churches allow gay preachers or why does church A believe in the “prosperity gospel” ad nauseam we misuse the word Church.
All of these countless denominations that follow their own ways with no accountability to the Traditions and Canons of the Church that is unbroken since Pentecost are not the Church…they’re assemblies.

I’m pretty sure even Jesus Christ is saying, “Awe Jesus tap-dancing Christ, is that really a big deal to these literalist English speaking dorks?”
Is this only an issue because you know English, and Jesus did not?
Translate it into Hebrew and Aramaic and then let’s do this topic again.

Wait until you hear about the pagan that decided what those traditions and canons were

Whose alter are you? Fricking pathetic

Um... so anyone who isn't catholic isn't a member of a Church? Nah, that's just flat wrong. Y'all don't own sole claim to decide who are members of the body of Christ, no matter how much you want and try to.

I'm assuming all here know this doesn't matter, but you are just discussing for the sake of a somewhat interesting discussion....
