[Church_of_Christ] Re: "PATTERNS" are they to be physical or spiritual?
Bro Cole asked:
From my own experiences, the CoC has concentrated on the physical aspects of the church, ie; how it should be governed, members added, deacons and elders installed, proper liturgy, etc. Why do you think they have concentrated on the physical and not the spiritual as have other denominations?
Clay's response:
Because we set out to "physically restore it" Bro Cole.
You know, kinda like physically restoring a 57 Chevy.
I believe the church is Spiritual Bro Cole and when we get the
Spirtual part (relationship with the Lord and one another) right,
the physical is "only" the visible part and it is is the least important part about it.
Kinda like a dog.
We in the CoC focus on the physical tail first and we wind up
letting the tail wag the dog.
Grace and peace Clay
