Hi Leaf473 nice to meet you! Thank you for the greeting!Hi HIM, nice to meet you!
In your view, does that body of Christ have a visible expression, for example a particular system of priests and bishops?
There is a New Temple, us as the Body of Christ. The Holy Ghost is no longer in an earthly Temple ministered to, but in us ministering to us and through us.
1Cor 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
Phil.2:13 It is God that works in us both to will and do His good pleasure.
There is no longer male nor female, jew nor gentile, bondman or free. We are all one in Christ. For we that have been baptised into Christ have put on Christ. Gal 3:27,28 Therefore we are all Priests as He through Him after the order of Melchizedek. In other words God said it so it must be so.
Exod 19:6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
Rev 1:6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Rom 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
1Pet 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
We have a responsibility to the Temple in which we have become part of and the courtyard in which have been placed, the world.
