My Problem with the Invisible Church

[Rick Otto]

Athanasias: This would not have happened if Steven Seagal was there! You can take that to the bank!

(lol)Stop this? Not even Steven.

It's invisible. I can't see it.

I can't see it either

, but I am part of it!

 

[racer]

It's invisible. I can't see it.

I'm guessing that you also have a problem with the Holy Trinity since you can't see Jesus, God or the Holy Spirit.

So, sad.

I'm essentially of the opinion now that one of us is playing a kind of devil's advocate posing, for the sake of the argument, as one who doesn't understand what is meant by the invisible church or how it can exist at the same time as the visible church. Meanwhile everyone else can't figure out how to further explain what has been so well explained already.

I actually saw something on the History channel. According to this one Navy veteran (who is a clinical sociopath or something like that, by the way) they did.

During WWII supposedly they tested an invisibility field, but it made everyone on the ship go stark raving mad/massive brain damage.

I forget what its called. It was on one of their "UFOs exposed" shows, so.... heh.

Wasn't it called the "Philadelphia Experiment?"

Yes, it was. Here's a link:

I don't believe that this is the case at all...

I take this thread, and the OP to be about rejoicing about faith.

Let's see what our Lord has to say about it: Jesus said to him, "Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." John 20:29.

Isn't it about the nature of the Church?

 

[Rick Otto]

Wasn't it called the "Philadelphia Experiment?"

So then the invisible church was the church at Philadelphia?

A city set on a hill cannot hide!

A city set on a hill cannot hide!

Mathew 5:16
Even so let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
