Christ is the Body, "the Body-Christ"

Thanks for posting Bill Freeman’s actual words for us STG. I can definitely see that he was influenced by Witness Lee (we all were who were there).

He seems to be laboring to try to explain the unexplainable. So I ask, why do that and what did all this talk of the church produce? I recall there being a problem with Bill and his wife in the Phoenix area but don’t know details.

Christ and the church (ekklesia) are a great mystery related to how a husband and wife love one another and submit to each other. The ekklesia is the house of the living God, the pillar and base of the truth. These are express truths. The ekklesia is Christ isn’t one. Best to not say what scripture doesn’t and keep our focus on Jesus. Time has borne this out over and over.

Off this topic, today it hit me that “love one another” is Jesus’ new commandment. Not optional. When we haven’t followed His new commandment things haven’t turned out very well.
