Now "Brother Lee" has become "Brothers we"  Why they have switched from "the flavor" to "the feeling of the body" is anybody's guess. |
UntoHim, maybe!
If we're talking about opinions and feelings, the blended brothers cannot cloak it as "feeling of the body" and expect just by merely invoking the phrase, there is a corresponding reality. The following excerpt is what I sent in a PM to alwayslearning yesterday, "Unless LSM brothers are open to fellowship with brothers who may not agree with them, they cannot know the feeling of the Body." Furthermore there is a concept I gained in the local churches once a brother or sister committed some offense and subsequently repented for their offense, they could never be trusted. I now realize the matter of forgiveness has no bearing on what feelings are.
If the concept of "the feeling of the Body is only designated brothers can discern "feeling of the Body". You can either call that a clergy/laiety system (as in the Dark ages only the clergy had discernment of the Word) or you could call as (UntoHim's post indicated) the new terminology for "the flavor". Which of course only a select few could discern what the current flavor is.
