Your View: What is the true Body of Christ?

[ravenwing92]

I would like to see what everybody's view is on this. What's the true Body of Christ? What characteristics do you think the Church of Christ should consist of? What do you believe Jesus commanded to be in the Body of Christ? Do you think we have become more of a connected Body of Christ or divided? What do you think of churches today? What do you believe is the true, biblical Body of Christ? Should we speak in condemnation or encouragement, rebuking or love? What do you think on the topic (or anything correlated to it) is the main question. lol


Scripture most ethusiatically welcomed (if I spelled that right lol)

The Body of Christ is the community of the faithful. No member of that body can claim any more importance than another member of that body, just as the hand cannot say to the foot, "I don't need you."

 

[Grey Wanderer]

There's no absolute body of Christ on this earth. Not as long as man is involved. All the combinations of men, churches and belief systems AT BEST can only be "Christ LIKE", but to me, that's the extent of it.

Heehee. Indeed. Goes along with also one other of the many verses on this topic: Ephesians 4 (NIV)


Thanks both of you for your views

I think the true body of Christ is subliminal, just can't say how exactly.
