"Many will call Me Lord, Lord and I will say depart from Me I never knew you!"

[Ff--150]

Calling the authoress the fool, not you.

As far as the everyday church, as you call it, it is time for that to "die," being replaced by the resurrected Real Church =-)

[Rightly Biased]

Define "Real Church"

[Ff--150]

'Define "Real Church"'

;o) You'll know It, when It finds you. Jesus isn't a mythical Guy from way back.

Then folks will start asking YOU to "define 'Real Church.'" Good Luck :>

I think Rightly Biased asked a legitimate question. How do you define the "Real Church" and what distinctives does it have to distinguish it from some "un-Real Church"?

[Rightly Biased]

So you don't know what a "Real Church" would be by your standard or definition.


I am not questioning whether Jesus is the Alpha and Omega and Alive forevermore; but your definition of "Real Church"

Define "Real Church"? again I ask.

[Between the Lines]

"Sadly, this is often the picture of the modern church. It is a mile wide - and about an inch deep."

I think there are many Churches that are too narrow and too deep also. Though you won't find many here at FR that would agree with me.

[Zack Nguyen]

I don't think its possible to be too deep. But one can be too narrow.

[Zack Nguyen]

I'll goa step further - many standing in the pulpit today are not truly converted.

[Rightly Biased]

Yes I agree with that statement.

But how does one measure conversion?

We are told you will know them by their works?

Not that works get you there but thats how we'll know them.
