Well, I walk with Him and I talk with Him. Is that what you're talking about? *scratching head*

The Body of Christ is an organic entity and the blueprint for its development and management is written in the Epistles of Paul. I see no reason to deviate from the Apostle’s expertise.

The Epistle to the Ephesians is particularly insightful in understanding principles of Christian “body life” and development, seeing as that’s where the “body of Christ” idea was presented in the first place. A proper hermeneutical approach would be to start in Ephesians, get the historical context of Ephesus, and go from there. It may be useful to consider parallels between Ephesians and Colossians, and also Paul’s letters to Timothy, who was stationed in Ephesus. That would give you a fuller picture to start.

The printed word of God, and the Holy Ghost, have already taken care of that.

I am sorry, but does, "invited to involve in the structured control over the system by Christianity, the managed advancement of public demand of the body of Christ and the direction of the oversight to ensure it is developed correctly" actually mean? What system are you suggesting we get structured control over? When you say, "public demand of the body of Christ " do you mean what the general public want Christ's church to be or to do?

Thank you for the invitation. I will not join because Christian Nationalism is not a mandate from our Father who asked us to spread His Good News and not use His Gospel to control flesh driven agendas.
Be blessed.
