Re: Current status of the Local Church?

...And I might add that this argument about "appealing to Ceasar" is spurious to say the least. Strictly speaking, the Jews, as those who had rejected the good news of the gospel, and who had even gone ahead to have Christ crucified, were NOT BELIEVERS. So Paul, in appealing to Ceasar against them, in a bid to save his life, did not contradict his very own injunction to the Corinthian BELIEVERS to not sue fellow believers.
Of course the LC System can argue that Christians are not true believers, and that thus they can be sued without qualm. Well, I wonder how that will go over before the Lord at His judgement seat.
