 Re: what it should be...

Quote:
I am curios to what some think the church would look like today, if were operating as God had intended. Not just as individuals but as a "church".



Well, there would be someone sleeping with his mother in law, and being put outside the church for a bit, there would be strife and division, pride over spiritual gifts, those who think that faith alone is not enough, and pretty much all the other things that the Epistles seek to correct in the Churches they are written to.

So, I'd say things look pretty good as far as the Church goes.

There has NEVER been a time where there has been a "perfect" Church, and that is why it's important to remember that there is an invisible Church who are truly born again, and there is a visible church that is just people who go to church, but are not born again. Or as Jesus said, "wheat among tares". But they are going to grow together until the end, and then the separating will take place.
